One of the lesser discussed WikiLeaks revelations was the leak outlining collusion between The Democrat National Committee and CBS News Political Polling. The DNC requested and received control over the CBS published polling outcome.
We have previously outlined this activity as “agenda polling“; it has been discussed in great length. The WikiLeaks release just provided more evidence. Every single major media poll release is specifically constructed to deliver a directional narrative as outlined by the ideological message for the accompanying/distributing outlet.

Which brings us to today’s CNN narrative polling (full pdf below); where they state Trump has “surged” following the RNC convention in Cleveland. Quite hypocritical of them actually, when you consider CNN claimed the entire convention was an abysmal failure.
Hillary Clinton Campaign Manager, Robby Mook, during an interview Sunday on with Jake Tapper, claims Russia was responsible for hacking the Democrat party’s internal servers and stealing the information. Mook claims their motive was to help Donald Trump.
Obviously the Clinton campaign is just attempting distraction as a political tool. However, there is an interesting aspect to this deflective approach being taken by the Clinton Team in their efforts to avoid discussing or confronting the substance of the emails.
When FBI Director James Comey outlined the entire investigation into Clinton’s use of her private email server, and the attached devices she used for communication, Comey stated:
FBI Director James Comey […] Consistent with our counterintelligence responsibilities, we have also investigated to determine whether there is evidence of computer intrusion in connection with the personal e-mail server by any foreign power, or other hostile actors.
This is an evolving story #BestSummerEver – Due to the revelations within the WikiLeaks DNC emails, Debbie Wasserman-Shultz has been barred from speaking at the Democrat Convention.
In an effort to diffuse the growing controversy, and trying to split the baby, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz has just resigned her position as head of the DNC effective AFTER the Philadelphia convention….. NOT GOOD ENOUGH says the majority of convention attendees so… stay tuned! UPDATE: Donna Brazille to fill in?
PHILADELPHIA – […] A Hillary Clinton source expects Wasserman Schultz to be gone by the end of the day, while another Democratic source said President Barack Obama or a proxy for him may need to get involved and call Wasserman Schultz because her posture is that she was appointed by the president.
Wasserman Schultz is holding on, believing “she can weather this,” a source told CNN
Short of her resigning, both critics and supporters within the DNC are demanding she issue a statement to deal with the many issues raised by the release of a trove of DNC emails by Wikileaks that appeared to show the party favoring Clinton over Bernie Sanders during the primary process. (more…)
A collection of some of the additional Sunday talk show interviews worth watching:
Paul Manafort on Fox News Sunday – [*Note* Post Ailes exit, FNS is in the evolution mode shifting toward full support for Hillary Clinton while still trying to retain the financial value of Trump friendly appearances and discussion.]
NBC’s Chuck Todd interviews Donald Trump on “Meet The Press” broadcast today:
WikiLeaks revealed clear evidence the Democrat National Committee was working earnestly to undermine Bernie Sanders and colluding with like-minded main stream media entities to eliminate the Sanders campaign.
The email leaks clearly show the DNC was working to support Hillary Clinton, and position Hillary Clinton favorably during the primary election. Bernie Sanders supporters had been making this argument for months and being called conspiracy theorists by the media; the email release proves the supporters were right.
Bernie Sanders discusses the revelations and talks to NBC and ABC (two video interviews):
The professional party apparatus, ie. Team Clinton, just gave the Bernie supporters the biggest F.U. so far in Philadelphia.
After the DNC locked the doors so hundreds of Team Bernie supporters could not get in to attend the rules meeting, and after locking out media during the discussion, an effort to fully eliminate superdelegates in future elections failed.
A delegate for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders offered an amendment to get rid of superdelegates (party insiders who can vote for the candidate of their choice at the convention).
Sanders supporters accurately identified it was superdelegates who gave Hillary Clinton too much of an advantage in their battle for the Democratic presidential nomination.
However, the party power structure will not allow such efforts. The amendment was defeated by a rules committee vote of 108-58. Although it earned enough support to force a floor vote at the convention should Team Bernie do so.
Following the vote, the media was allowed back in to witness, the Rules Committee subsequently voted down several other compromise amendments; including measures: to give superdelegates one-tenth of a vote each, ban lobbyists from being superdelegates, and bar superdelegates from voting on the convention’s first ballot. They all failed. (more…)
