Tell me again how FOXNEWS is a right wing site?

Confirmed: Rupert Murdoch
Instructed Fox News To Take Down
Donald Trump August 2015…

In an extensive article within New York Magazine, mostly outlining the rather sordid details of Roger Ailes, readers may also note specific confirmation of something we outlined in August of last year (2015). Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch instructed Fox News executives to take down Donald Trump. Excerpt: (NY MAG) […] Murdoch was not a fan of Trump’s and especially did not like his stance on immigration. (The antipathy was mutual: “Murdoch’s been very bad to me,” Trump told me in March.) A few days before the first GOP debate on Fox in August 2015, Murdoch called Ailes at home.

you had better read these polls by Emerson. There are several more than I am posting. September 2, 2016 Media Contact: Prof. Spencer Kimball Emerson College Polling Advisor Spencer_Kimball@emerson.edu 617-824-8737 Emerson College Poll: Clinton with Slight Lead in Virginia, Trump Leads in Iowa as Grassley Gains in Popularity. BOSTON, MA - A new Virginia poll conducted by Emerson College finds Hillary Clinton just one point ahead of Donald Trump, 44% to 43%, with Libertarian Gary Johnson taking 11% and the Green Party’s Jill Stein at 3%. The poll of 800 likely voters was August 30- September 1. In Iowa, a new poll finds Trump leading 44% to 39% with Johnson at 8% and Stein at 1%. Eight percent (8%) were undecided. In the US Senate race, Senator Chuck Grassley leads Patty Judge 51% to 40% with 6% undecided. This poll of 600 likely voters was conducted from August 31- September 1. Virginia Although Clinton’s running mate is Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, he does not seem to be aiding her favorability numbers. Under water, Clinton has a 15-point favorability deficit, with 41% viewing her favorably and 56% unfavorably. Trump’s scores were even worse with 37% favorable/60% unfavorable (-23). Consistent with other Emerson polls conducted during the past week, both candidates have very high rates of loyalty in Virginia—96% for Trump, 92% for Clinton—meaning voters who approve of a candidate also plan to vote for the individual. By a substantial margin, 55% to 33%, respondents expect Clinton to win the presidency over Trump, while 8% are undecided. Independents favor Trump to Clinton, 47% to 28%, with 19% voting for Johnson. Among Democrats, 85% plan to vote for Clinton while 9% are crossing over to Trump and 5% to Johnson. The crossover pattern is similar among Republicans, with Trump receiving 81% of the vote, Clinton 7% and Johnson 10%. Trump holds a wide lead over Clinton among white voters, 54% to 31%, with Johnson at 13%. Clinton’s strongest support lies in the minority and female vote. African-Americans heavily favor her (79% to 15%) as do Hispanic voters (61% to 25%). Men are supporting Trump 53% to Clinton’s 32%, while Clinton is winning 54% of the female vote to Trump’s 34%. Clinton is winning in the Northern area of the state 43% to 34% and in the Southeast region 47% to 42% while Trumps’ stronghold is in the south western portion of the state, where he is pulling away 57% to 39%. It appears bad blood between Trump and his primary opponents are carrying over to the General with only 36% of Kasich supporters voting for him, 56% of Rubio voters and 73% of Cruz voters. Clinton is having a similar issue with Bernie Sanders voters as 63% say they will vote for Clinton, 16% for Trump, 15% for Johnson and 6% for Stein. Eight in 10 respondents (81%) say they have made up their mind and won’t change their vote before the election. Iowa Iowa voters do not appear happy with either Presidential candidate. Trump holds a 37% favorable opinion and a 58% unfavorable while Clinton is even further behind with a 35% favorable and 62% unfavorable. In the Senate race the voters have a positive opinion of Grassley 48% to 39% but Judge finds herself underwater with a 34% favorable and 36% unfavorable opinion. Clinton is having difficulty securing the Democrat vote as currently she is at 78% while Trump is taking 86% of the GOP vote. Independents are breaking for Clinton 34% to 33% with 16% voting for Johnson. Once again 34% of Sanders voters are supporting another candidate other than Clinton. Gender continues to be a significant variable as women are breaking for Clinton 47% to 39% but males are breaking for Trump 51% to 30%. Clinton wins the younger vote (18-34 year olds) 47% to 37% but Trump continues to hold his lead with voter 35-54 at 47% to 32%. Clinton is doing better with the white voter losing 44% to 41%. Clinton is doing well in the Northeast (39% to 32%) and the Southwest (46% to 43%) but is losing in the Southeast 59% to 31% and in the Northwest (43% to 40%). CALLER ID: The Emerson College Polling Society Virginia poll was conducted August 30-September 1. The sample consisted of 800 likely general election voters with a margin of error of +/- 3.4%. Data was weighted by 2012 election results, party affiliation, age and gender. The Emerson College Polling Society Iowa poll was conducted August 31-September 1. The sample consisted of 600 likely general election voters with a margin of error of +/- 3.9%. Data was weighted by 2012 election results, party affiliation, age and gender. It is important to remember that subsets based on gender, age and party breakdowns carry with them higher margins of error, as the sample size is reduced.

Trump Adds Another Crackpot to Campaign Staff September 2, 2016 by Ed Brayton 27 Comments As if bringing in Steve Bannon wasn’t enough, now Donald Trump has added David Bossie, the president of Citizens United, to be Kellyanne Conway’s depute campaign manager. Bossie has pretty much made it his life’s work to discredit the Clintons no matter how sleazy he has to be to do it. In 1998, Bossie Was Forced To Resign From Role As Top Investigator On House Government And Reform Committee For Allegedly Releasing Selectively Edited Transcripts. Bossie resigned from his position as top investigator on the House Government and Reform Committee for his alleged role in releasing selectively edited transcripts and video of prison conversations by Clinton confidant Webster Hubbell. The transcripts and video, whose editing was overseen by Bossie, removed exculpatory statements from Hubbell that downplayed alleged wrongdoing by Hillary Clinton at their former law firm. Then-Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich responded to Bossie’s actions by telling then-House Government and Oversight Committee chair Dan Burton, “I’m embarrassed for you, I’m embarrassed for myself, and I’m embarrassed for the conference at the circus that went on at your committee.” George H.W. Bush Condemned Bossie For “Filthy Campaign Tactics” Used Against The Clintons During The 1992 Presidential Campaign. In a 2004 article in Salon written by Eric Boehlert, then-President George H.W. Bush condemned Bossie and Citizens United for, what he called, “filthy campaign tactics” against the Clintons during the 1992 presidential campaign. Bush eventually “filed an FEC complaint against Bossie’s group after it produced a TV ad inviting voters to call a hotline to hear (almost certainly doctored) tape-recorded conversations between Clinton and Gennifer Flowers.”… Bossie Once Baselessly Alleged “A Young Pregnant Woman Named Susan Coleman Had Committed Suicide In 1977 After Having An Affair With” Bill Clinton. In 1992, “Bossie set out to prove that a young pregnant woman named Susan Coleman had committed suicide in 1977 after having an affair with Clinton.” According to Salon, “Coleman’s mother told CBS that Bossie hounded her relentlessly with his false story, even following her to an Army hospital in Georgia, where she was visiting her husband, in recovery from a stroke. Bossie and another man ‘burst into the sick man’s room and began questioning the shaken mother about her daughter’s suicide.'” A man too sleazy for Newt Gingrich. That says a lot, doesn’t it?
