Fox News is the only news network that wasn't a lapdog for Hillary Clinton's campaign.


Looks like FOX is playing along, an excerpt from this article: http://freedomoutpost.com/are-the-p...divergent-surveys-cannot-possibly-be-correct/

At this moment, the Real Clear Politics average of national polls has Trump down by 5.6 percent. But some polls actually have him winning. Here are the nine latest surveys that Real Clear Politics has compiled…

ABC News Tracking: Clinton +12

IBD/TIPP Tracking: Trump +2

Rasmussen Reports: Trump +2

Quinnipiac: Clinton +7

Economist/YouGov: Clinton +4

FOX News: Clinton +6

Bloomberg: Clinton +9

Reuters/Ipsos: Clinton +4

Monmouth: Clinton +12

There is a 14 point swing between the polls that show Trump up by 2 points and the polls that show Clinton up by 12 points.

You are
Oversampling is used to shed light on groups that otherwise would be too small to report on. This is corrected for through weighting.

Wikileaks is depending on people who don't understand statistics and/or cannot be bothered to google "oversampling in polls" to find out why it is used. You fell for it.

In a Presidential election poll a proper pollster weights groups according to the likelihood they will vote. To oversample a population by a larger proportion than they should be expected to vote is either a mistake or an attempt to depress voting for a particular candidate. Podesta's email seems to indicate a desire to acheive the latter. "So we can maximize what we get..."

It's an attempt to manipulate public opinion with artificial peer pressure.

One of Hillary Clinton’s top aides urged colleagues to “clean this up” after President Obama claimed in March 2015 he only learned of Clinton’s private email system from news reports -- a statement the aide pointedly challenged by noting the president "has emails" from her non-department address.

The directive from Cheryl Mills, one of the Democratic presidential nominee’s most trusted aides, was revealed Tuesday in the newest batch of Campaign Chairman John Podesta’s emails posted by anti-secrecy site WikiLeaks. It is one of several showing how Clinton's inner circle scrambled to correct the record after Obama's initial remarks.

The hacked Mills message stems from a discussion on March 7, 2015, the night Obama told CBS News he found out about Clinton’s email system "the same time everybody else learned it through news reports."

“We need to clean this up – he has emails from her – they do not say state.gov,” Mills wrote to Podesta just before midnight. More

MSNBC's Chris Matthews, a liberal, wouldn't defend the Hillary Clinton tape.

TBH don't think Matthrews has any love for Hillary. He tore her apart in the 2008 primaries after he got the tingle up his leg hearing Obama give a speech.

Ah, a nice gish gallop. Let's do the first 3 and see if any of those have any substance:
Here is a list of Wikileaks emails dumped over the summer.


DNC member killing horses for insurance money.
https://wikileaks.org/dnc-emails/emailid/578
Vetting a person turned up stuff. Person failed previous vettings and was recommended to fail this one too.
1. The woman's race is not identified.
2. Someone apparently wasn't aware of the woman's name and thought "LaQueenia" was being used as a joke title. That person was immediately corrected.
DNC telling each other, “I love you too. no homo.”
https://wikileaks.org/dnc-emails/emailid/425
This is the closest one to an issue.

There's some debate about if appending "no homo" is really a big issue. I personally don't really care, but don't use the phrase myself as I understand some people may be bothered by it. This was a email between two people, both of whom i assume were not bothered by the term. If i as a leader were made aware of the conversation between subordinates, I'd probably ask them to be more professional in work correspondence.

Any others you think are more damning than some guy saying "no homo" to another guy?

Sorry forgot to respond to your post directly.

The wikileaks piece you refer to in post #11 is probably the first with serious implications. President Obama claims he did not know HRC used private email server for official business until the press broke the story. This wikileaks internal email shows he did correspond with HRC and her people before the story broke in March. The emails show there is concern and that a clean up should ensue.

And for the doubting types here's the wikileaks source:

https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/31077

Corresponding story hitting today:

As the scandal over Clinton's use of a private email server was still emerging in March 2015, Obama told CBS News that he learned about the arrangement through the media. "The same time everybody else learned it through news reports," Obama told CBS News' Bill Plante.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest later clarified that while the president knew about Clinton’s email address, he “was not aware of the details of how that email address and that server had been set up.”

Clinton's campaign declined to confirm the authenticity of the emails. White House spokesman Eric Schultz pointed to Earnest's comments from March when asked for comment about the email exchange.

So.... Obama lied? Should we not vote for him? I'm trying to figure out what the serious implications are.
