Fake News/Fake Investigations

Fake News/Fake Investigations by Bill Wilson

Two recent polls indicate that Democratic Party rhetoric is backfiring on them. A Harvard poll shows that Americans believe it's time to move on from the Russian influence narrative, and a YouGov poll indicates that Americans are wary of fake news.

Driving the rhetoric on both these fronts is the radical left and the Democratic Party, which has caused violence and continues unabated even after a man influenced by the rhetoric created a hit list and attempted to assassinate Republican members of Congress. The New York Post is reporting that the dossier on Donald Trump that started the FBI Russian investigation was a product of people who were financed by and supported the Clinton campaign.

The Harvard-Harris poll of 2,258 Americans indicated that 68% of the country believe the Russian investigation is hurting America. Some 62% believe the investigation will end without accomplishing anything with 38% expecting the investigation to end in impeaching the President. Interesting that the political weight of the poll was 35% Democrat, 30% Independent and 29% Republican-meaning that the Democrat respondents are hoping for impeachment while the rest of the country just wants the investigations to end and to move on to important matters. Meanwhile, the New York Post report shows that the Democrats, specifically the Clintons, were behind those that started the whole Russian investigation.

Another poll conducted by YouGov indicates that 70% of the general public agrees that news organizations are subject to partisan agendas. The public however is divided along the lines of politics as to whether people trust the reporting by news organizations-52% of Democrats believe that the news media is influenced by those who fund them, and 85% of Republicans believe the media is influenced by those who fund them. 83% of Democrats are more likely to trust traditional news sources compared with 58% of Republicans. These statistics may indicate that people in general are getting tired of the fake news narrative and that Democrats are more likely to believe it than Republicans.

Over the weekend, CNN-often accused as the leader in fake news and of being an ardent supporter of the Democratic Party's "Resist" agenda-fully retracted a story linking the Congressional investigation of a Russian investment fund to Trump officials.

As it ends up, the story was a lie as held accountable by Breitbart News. CNN to date has refused to address how it was written and published. The Democratic Party propagandists are behind both the Russian narrative and the fake news propagated by left leaning media. Americans appear to be catching on.

As Jesus said in Matthew 10:25-26, "If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household? Therefore Fear them not: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known."
