#HillaryMen UPDATE: Not just Quinnipiac; other polls false and slanderous re. "liar" Hillary. (HRC)

UPDATE (10/2/15): USA TODAY and Suffolk University pull the identical, reprehensible stunt as Quinnipiac, deceiving readers into believing that the majority of voters believe Hillary Clinton is a "liar." Under the graphic on this page, USA TODAY tells readers that the source of the "liar" word association is "430 likely Democratic voters." That is an outright lie. Looking at the internals, out of 131 respondents who associated "liar" with Hillary, only 8 were Democrats, 49 were Independents, and 73 were Republicans. And over half were men. So USA TODAY is portraying the response of mainly male Republicans as somehow indicative of what Democrats (and all voters) believe about Hillary Clinton.

Similarly, the words used in the poll to compliment Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders (both of whom who admire and respect) come primarily from Democrats. Comparing what most Republican males say about Hillary to what most Democrats say about Joe Biden is a brazen deception. It is entirely unacceptable. USA TODAY should retract the article and apologize to readers and to Hillary Clinton.

It is beyond question that the national media want to undermine Hillary's candidacy. Even Fox's Bill O'Reilly admits it. However, to do so with outright falsehoods is unconscionable. The Q poll debunked below was trumpeted by countless media outlets - to Hillary's great detriment. Now the USA TODAY/Suffolk U. poll is being disseminated by the media, from Morning Joe to Politico. This madness has to stop....

polled as liars in which they are. I have long looked at FOX as being full of lies, well that has changed Kevin told the truth.

I just expect the distortions on a daily basis, so I mainly ignore them. I must say that is becoming more difficult with Bernie's fans trumpeting the false stories like Fox News.
