And yet the same press, and RG itself  on this same page releases a poll showing Trump's favorabity (or lack of) before he takes office. We saw during the election that the purpose of polls was to influence public opinion, not reveal it - as if revealing it is actually news.  CBS led with this poll yesterday, breathlessly inquiring of Mike Pence what he thought of the poll, like it mattered what his opinion was. Tomorrow expect full coverage of every protest and protester even if they are outnumbered 10,000 to 1. I don't expect to read much more than gussied up opinion for the next four years.
