Summary
Donald Trump has sued pollster J. Ann Selzer and The Des Moines Register over a pre-election poll showing Kamala Harris leading in Iowa by three points, claiming it created a “false narrative of inevitability.”
Trump, who won the state by 13 points, alleges election interference but provides no evidence of wrongdoing.
Legal experts expect the case to fail, citing First Amendment protections. Critics argue the lawsuit is intended to burden media outlets financially.
Selzer has retired, and Gannett, the newspaper’s parent company, has defended the poll’s methodology as sound.
What a childish sore winner. Contrary to popular belief polls don’t predict results, they represent a fleeting moment in time. Now fuck off, you won.
it’s not about winning lawsuits, it’s about proliferating the notion that any news that doesn’t come directly from his own face anus is sus and “fake news.” he’s been doing it since long before the first election, and he’s not going to stop, ever. in fact, he’s going to ramp it up to where there are actual legal/financial consequences for printing anything that doesn’t shower him with fawning obsequious praise.
many journalists see the writing on the wall. they obey in advance to save their own ass
Only Trump is allowed to say and do whatever the hell he wants with impunity.
trump is a weak, pathetic idiot. I hope he sues me too.
you see, Oceania was always at war with East Asia
