Colluding to target political opponents for election purposes should be prosecuted all day long.

The stuff that Trump and his team have experienced since 2016 makes Watergate look like a prank.

I doubt this will go anywhere, but like those being forced to issue public corrections, this might help in the media returning to the days of just reporting the facts.

Trump sues Iowa pollster Ann Selzer and Des Moines Register newspaper
Selzer published a poll days before the election that said Kamala Harris was ahead by 3 percentage points. Trump won the state by 13 percentage points.

I remember some analysis of her work making a solid case she totally tanked it on purpose throwing away a lot of her methods that made her effective up to that point for no logical reason. I highly suspect the discovery would demand financial details to expose pay for play and Trump isn't in this one for settlement $$.

He's such a mental midget. So much for free media and not politicizing the courts. All because he's mad someone put out an incorrect pollI doubt this will go anywhere, but like those being forced to issue public corrections, this might help in the media returning to the days of just reporting the facts.

Media never reported *just the facts* lol. It's just we're able to fact check it much easier with the internet.

The era of "non-partisan" news media from the ~1950s-~1980s is largely romanticized and is sort of an aberration in our history of otherwise incredibly partisan newspapers as a country.

I wonder why that happened? Oh ya Reagan vetoed the fairness doctrine and oversaw a bunch of deregulation regarding the FCC that led to the rise of conservative talk radio and our current media environment.

Damn it Rush. You f@cked us all.
She had a record of nailing it election after election. All of a sudden she misses by a mile when all other polls were much closer? Something was going on.

Why did they put out an incorrect poll? Why did they deceptively edit one candidate‘s interview? Why did they give time to Kamala on NBC and not Trump? Why did they fact check one candidate and not the other? He’s probably mad because big picture- the networks are doing political work for the blue team. No balance whatsoever.

Trump is now sueing people. Oh my. There are SO MANY people he could sue in so many walks of life.
The guys who lied on those FISA warrants, the guy who illegally leaked his taxes, Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Steele,. Everybody who rode with that and gloated over it in prime time.
Whoopi Goldberg better be walking back that 'going to break up inter-racial marriages'. Comment. CNN, NYT, Post, good grief I could be here all day.

They get polls wrong, it's honestly that simple. Why did they put out so many incorrect polls in 2016. For all your other points I refer you too look up the history of fairness doctrine and how it's led to our current media climate, by removing accountability for networks.

The public polling was off by a mile, but both campaigns acknowledge internal polling was far more accurate. I get that it was close, but Iowa shouldn’t be that hard. Not to mention, that’s a wild mistake.

LOL - whoopsies! I retire! She went from Trump +4 to Harris +3 at the same time Trump was strengthening and Kamala was falling apart everywhere. State swung 7% alright, just in the opposite direction she "predicted". Lady has done this her whole life and REALLY thinks her state is going from Trump +18 over Biden (50-32) in July to Kamala +3 (56-43) in late October?

Over an interview that Trump agreed to sit to and have recorded. So nothing dishonest about Trump just doesn't like how it was used to portray him in a negative light. So he's going to sue. What a world we're living in and we have people applauding this shitLooks like Woodward is next as well.

I guess we will see:
The suit claims that while Trump authorized Woodward to conduct the interviews and record them for his book, "Rage," he did not grant permission for the sale of the audio recordings. Trump is seeking at least $49 million in damages

Not at all. This is Trudeau's own doing. Honestly, really hopeful that he gets pushed out before the election.
Trump's impact is more of a long term thing as it gave Poilievre a clear path on how to win.

It's a tire fire, he's doing a Joe Biden and drawing this all out to make the Liberal party completely unelectable. Conservatives are going to win in 1984 Reagan levels.
If he wasn't a complete narcissist he would have resigned long ago.
