Trump’s remarkable power is to cause otherwise normal people to self-destruct. Although Keith Olbermann has been walking the cliff edge of crazy for sometime. Trump, by just being, has caused Olbermann to fall into the abyss.
Many in the Democrat Party/MSM seem close behind.
The surprising thing for me is that businessmen allow these kooks to still be on television. There must be an audience for crazy.
Paul Bedard:
“…Media hate isn’t just a GOP thing anymore.
Pollster Jonathan Zogby shared with us fresh results showing that big majorities of Republicans and Democrats support censoring the media “from spreading false information and half truths.”
In analyzing his new data from the Zogby Analytics poll, he suggested that the GOP’s distrust of liberal reporters and the Democrats’ concern that the media legitimizes racist groups are to blame.
Overall, 73% backed some form of censorship, and 19% opposed any meddling.
But there were groups with higher support for reining in the media, especially Republicans and older voters.
The survey found that 84% of Republicans support some form of censorship. But even a sizable majority of Democrats support censorship at 68%.
And nearly 9 in 10 swing voters support censorship. “Support for censoring the media increased significantly among ‘swing voters’ (87% at least somewhat supported/11% at least somewhat opposed), who voted for each Obama and Trump in the last two presidential elections,” read the analysis.
Zogby concluded:
“While it’s hard to determine what voters deem news and whatnot, strong majorities of all voters, including older voters, Republicans, Democrats, large city voters, and college graduates support censoring media. While people believe some media online and on social media legitimize hate speech or racist ideas, there are rights guaranteed under the Constitution, specifically freedom of speech, and if we start tinkering with those tenants of our existence, we might set a precedent that could limit our guaranteed freedoms. We can always call out hate and racism, and take the horrible people who spread these ideas to task, but we cannot blindly disregard our protection of free speech, which is the right of good and bad people alike.”…”
Paul Bedard:
“…Add John Zogby to the growing number of Democratic pollsters questioning major media surveys showing a double-digit lead by Joe Biden over President Trump.
“It’s closer than you think,” according to Zogby, who’s own John Zogby Strategies survey puts Biden’s lead at two points, 49%-47%.
In his latest podcast with son and pollster Jeremy Zogby, John Zogby said that polls showing a bigger Biden lead are using a bad model, one that includes far too many Democrats.
His model follows the partisan turnout in 2016 that was about 34% Republicans and about 38% Democrats.
“We believe that is a more accurate reflection of the turnout model,” he said.
But others showing a big Biden lead over-weigh Democrats. “Now some of the polls that have come out, I find troubling,” he said, citing CNN, Fox, and YouGov. They give an average 15-point advantage to Democrats. CNN had it a 16-point lead.
“I’m a Democrat,” he said, but “I just don’t don’t think the sampling is accurate.”
While the elder Zogby didn’t cite a reason other pollsters are showing a bigger Biden lead, his son Jeremy did — Biden bias.
“To me, it’s only two things. It’s deliberate, or it’s a projection of bias, and I would go with the latter,” he said in their weekly conversation, The Zogby Report.
“If you live in an area, and you live in an echo chamber, and most of your friends think a certain way, a lot of times the echo chamber effect is that you tend to project, ‘How could people think such a certain way, clearly, for example, the president is out of mind, and he’s bad for this country, he’s bad for the world, so of course people are going to turn out in droves for Biden.’ I’m afraid that that’s what’s happening, a projection of bias in the data,” he said…”

Brian C. Joondeph:
“…Presidential pollsters have short memories. It was a mere four years ago that most pollsters faceplanted after predicting a Hillary Clinton landslide victory. Rather than humility and introspection after such wildly inaccurate predictions, they have doubled down and may be falling into the same trap of wishful thinking as they did in 2016.
Opinion polls are only as good as their samples. Assessing President Trump’s popularity in Boulder versus Sturgis would yield vastly different results based on the population being surveyed.
A recent NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll conducted Sept. 30 to Oct. 1 showed Joe Biden with a 14-point lead over President Trump, 53 to 39 percent, up from an 8 point lead a week earlier. That’s it then, game over. Time for Biden to start packing for his move from his basement to the White House.
Who was polled to give Biden such a commanding lead? Looking at the poll internals, something the media prefers to hide, reveals that registered, not likely, voters were surveyed, one strike against the poll. As elections move closer to election date, that calls the sample into question. Given that voter turnout for presidential elections is typically just over 50 percent, half of those surveyed won’t vote, regardless of their opinions.
Of the 800 registered voters surveyed, Democrats were oversampled by 9 points, 45 to 36 percent, explaining much of Joe’s supposed 14 point advantage.
This poll echoes a July Quinnipiac poll finding Biden opening a 15-point lead over Trump. Again this was registered voters and oversampled Democrats by 10 points, 34 to 24 percent, creating much of the 15-point lead.
Are there 8 to 10 percentage points more Democrats than Republicans out there? If so, then why isn’t Hillary Clinton the one running for re-election? In reality it may be the opposite. Politico reported Republican voter registration surging in Florida, 41 percent more new Republican voters compared with Democrats…”

Fay Voshell:
“…What should have been a purely scientific response aimed at control and cure of a disease quickly evolved into the political-religious cult of Covidism. Objective scientific analysis of and responses to what is the contagious pathogen COVID-19 were almost immediately suffocated by a plethora of arbitrary pseudo-religious rituals…”
An interesting article. Worth clicking over.

I think he should be fired. I think the President waited too long. He is a deep stater, an FBI institutionalist. The FBI needs to be thoroughly cleaned of people like Wray.
We’ll see.
