    Default FOX ISSUED a CORRECTION ON 'FAKED' polling data (bet that thread's still up)

    The 48 hours of polling data FAKED by FOX ran and hyped by FOX, even showed up here. Apparently they RETRACTED it. They never do thaT! But I thought I heard, driving down the road, yesterday that the pollster tweeted the REAL #s in a rather 'snarky' manner. I have no idea if they have to power to tell FOX to fix it!

    Facts sure do bite, don't they?

    Fox Business issues correction for botched Trump approval poll

    The Fox Business Network issued an on-air correction Thursday after the network aired a poll graphic — later shared online by President Donald Trump — that incorrectly displayed the president's unfavorable rating as his job approval rating.

    “It’s been a quite start to the day for President Trump, though he did send out a tweet this morning from the Lou Dobbs show last night on Fox Business," Washington correspondent Blake Burman said on behalf of Fox Business. "That tweet featured a poll that was not entirely accurate, which Fox Business would like to correct."


    The Georgetown Politics poll, as featured on Fox Business network's "Lou Dobbs Tonight," showed a 58 percent approval rating for Trump's handling of the economy and a 55 percent overall approval rating for the president.

    However, the 55 percent figure actually represents the number of respondents who said they hold unfavorable views of Trump. According to the survey, 41 percent have a favorable view of Trump. Of those polled, 52 percent disapprove of Trump's job as president, compared with the 43 percent who said they approve.

    "According to a poll from Georgetown University, 58 percent of respondents approved of the president’s handling of the economy. That portion of the graphic was right," Burman said. "However, the graphic also showed that 55 percent of the respondents approve of the president, that number is not correct. The 55 percent number was those who have an unfavorable impression of President Trump.”
    Fox News White House Correspondent Kevin Corke also issued a similar statement on Fox N

    apparently not

    if Republican Barr and Republican Rosenstein say Republican Mueller's report shows no collusion and no obstruction, why is Trump fighting tooth and nail to keep it under wraps?

    why aren't they eager to send it on over to Congress, clear all this confusion up?

    wtf?

    they're going to redact stuff then release it, as is the usual process.

    you're such an ignorant troll.
