Shock Poll: Majorities Still Believe Debunked Fake News About Trump And Russia

1. Three years ago this week, Jake Tapper delivered a closing sermon for his show about a poll he found alarming. Asked if the Obama administration intentionally spied on Trump and members of his campaign during the 2016 election, 32 percent of the public said yes.
2. So if Tapper was upset that 32 percent of the public thought the Obama administration spied on the Trump campaign, and it did, how upset must he be that 53 percent believe what his network falsely peddled for years? A majority of Americans and 81 percent of liberals, the group CNN caters to believe that Trump colluded with Russia.
3. Whether they are attempting to destroy the life and reputation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, working overtime to protect the reputation of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, pushing the impeachment of a sitting president, attempting to control the outcomes of elections, or spending years peddling a false tale of treasonous collusion with Russia to steal the 2016 election, they get significant results despite failure to report accurately.
4. When the Steele dossier became increasingly discredited, the Times reporters allowed the paper to be used to put out an implausible new origin story for the FBI’s Trump-Russia probe. When the dossier was exposed definitively in government reports as false, it was impossible for faithful readers of the Times to learn that information because it was never reported.
5. The Steele dossier, and its central and elaborate theory that Trump was a secret agent of the Russian government who had betrayed his country to steal the 2016 election, has been completely discredited by multiple government investigations.
6. When the dossier was definitively discredited in the explosive IG report, Evan Perez (an undisclosed but extremely close personal friend of Fusion GPS operatives who peddled the dossier to compliant media) told Jake Tapper that the topline takeaway was that Trump was wrong to think he'd been wronged by the FBI.
