Watch how this so called Poll shows up on Network Media for 15 seconds and relooped for 24 hours. And it will show up as a talking point as a comparison for months to come.

They want money this week too. FFS Lets see the report! This is really feeling insane. They're just chirping on with their radio voices as if things are JUST GREAT!
NPR has really hit rock bottom here, this is just sad.

Why are you conducting polls on information that nobody has?

You asked "Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into possible wrongdoing and Russian interference in the 2016 election is complete. Overall, are you satisfied or not satisfied with the investigation?"

How can you ask that question when no one knows what the results of that investigation is except for William Barr? Until Congress sees the full unredacted report and US citizens see what parts of the reports that are not deemed of national security interest, no one knows.

You are helping to spread a false and misleading narrative. Please be fair.

Thank you,

But it being NPR is what made me think it was worth getting DU feedback on.

"News" shows will fill the vacuum with anything, including bullshit. We may someday discover something of Mueller's report.

The narrative impression is that Barr's summary (BS) is the truthful and complete "final word" on the matter. And that anybody who still has questions and/or doubts about the completeness or the veracity of the BS is crazy or a "partisan deranged dead ender" who just hates Trump (though he's earned plenty of it).
