Media Bias

They were most accurate among major pollsters with the 2016 election.

Yes, they were the most accurate for the Trump win, predicting Hillary winning by 2%. I imagine since they exclude cell phones with their methodology, anytime a Republican wins they will be more accurate than not.

They were near the least accurate for every other election (somewhat of a guess)

If you dont think Rasmussen leans republican with their way of doing polling, I have to assume you also think Fox News is fair and balanced.

(I think there is media bias on both sides ...)

Well ur point was to simply dismiss the poll bc it actually is supportive of the trump presidency and since day one of the trump presidency there has been been a well documented effort by the media not only to discredit the president but to spread false narrative that no one in the country is behind the president and there generally no positive support for this president.

The Rasmussen poll was the most accurate period. So what you should questioning is why were the others generally off and some way off when it comes to historic polling. ???

When you speak of a biased, inaccurate, false poll....BUT SUPPORTS a narrative you want and THE MEDIA wants...then you can see how it is easier to see the spread of misinformation.

Hilary hanging around in the outskirts of the public eye is hardly the dems biggest problem

In the East, it could be the COLDEST New Year’s Eve on record. Perhaps we could use a little bit of that good old Global Warming that our Country, but not other countries, was going to pay TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS to protect against. Bundle up!

LOL it makes me cringe every time winter comes and conservatives use cold weather as exhibit A on why climate change is not real.

Record breaking weather is Exhibit A that climate change is real. "COLDEST New Year's Eve on record" ... is just another record that is being set. The stupidity of Trumps post is mind boggling.

"Last month also marked the hottest ever for August, which was also the 16th straight month to set a global heat record, according to Sánchez-Lugo.

The last time the Earth had a cooler-than-average month was December 1984, Sánchez-Lugo said. The "average" in this case is the average 20th-century temperature.

The first eight months of the year were also record warm, putting 2016 on track to be the warmest year on record."

What a shocker he doesn’t know the difference between climate and weather

Chico .. my point was that Rasmussen uses landlines, which means they tend to poll older people which tend to vote republican. Fox news spins right, CNN spins left. I accept both for what they are.

Sounds like you think Rasmussen and Fox News are on point, thats your call.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that this will shock no one that I hold this view, but Climate Change is one the Democratic Party's greatest inventions. It is the equivalent of Religion to the right.

(RELIGION: You can't disprove it because FAITH, the effects are far off enough to be minimally impactful now, BUT if we don't fix it, the rapture/apocalypse will occur and we will be doomed - DOOOMED I TELL YOU. Because FAITH.)

Climate Change: You can't disprove it because SCIENCE, the effects are far off enough to be minimally impactful now, BUT if we don't fix it, the global tipping point will occur and we will be doomed - DOOOMED I TELL YOU. Because SCIENCE.

And, no I'm not denying an amount of climate change occurs, both naturally, and man-made, anymore than I am saying faith is wrong. I DO disagree with the doomsday prophecies of a slow occurring natural event over the pace of tech advancements.

Not to mention we might be better off if the west and east coasts of the US moved inland about 20 miles (LA downtown is about 16 miles from the ocean).

I agree. It's Always Sunny made a super-convincing argument about how even the best scientists aren't that smart, and it made me switch my position to a more-faith based approach.

Stewart and Colbert presented information and opinion in away that was more honest than most new orgs. They both require you to understand issue and made fun of your own biases.

It was eye opening and an education on modern news.

Stewart has come out and said repeatedly for the news orgs to stop whining about the election...it will be passed down.

Well there’s definitely two sides to the story. Since when do we take the results of one poll as absolute fact?
