    The Hill seems to be in Trump’s pocket.

    EDIT: Yep, a quick wiki shows that they’ve been slinging conspiracy theories since at least 2017.

        In 2017, The Hill hired John Solomon as executive vice president of digital video. Solomon inserted material from advertisers into journalistic copy, leading to protests from The Hill’s publisher. In March 2018, he worked closely with associates of Rudy Giuliani, the personal lawyer of U.S. President Donald Trump, to promote the spurious Biden–Ukraine conspiracy theory. In May 2018, Solomon’s role was changed to opinion contributor, although he was allowed to keep his original title. In September 2019, he left The Hill.

        It’s all over the place here.

          The Hill was the second most-shared source among supporters of Donald Trump on Twitter during the election, behind Breitbart News.

          Hahaha, oh dear. I see.

    The purpose of these stories is not to convince you to vote for Trump.

    By consistently saying “polls show that Trump is going to win by a huge margin”, when he loses by a huge margin, they will have laid the groundwork to cite the polls and say that it’s proof that Biden stole the election. “Trump was so far ahead in the we polls (that we clearly made up) that a Biden win was impossible!”

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The survey, released Tuesday by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, showed 45 percent of Peach State voters would support Trump, compared to 37 percent who would support Biden, if the election were held today and they were their respective party’s nominee.

    While Biden still leads among self-described moderates and independents, his support is not quite strong enough to overcome Trump’s lead in Georgia, a state with more registered Republican voters than Democrats.

    The poll was released as Trump emerged from Monday’s Iowa caucuses, the GOP primary race’s first nominating contest, with a commanding lead over his opponents.

    As of Tuesday morning, the former president was poised to take the victory in 98 out of 99 counties in the Hawkeye State, according to election data from The Hill/Decision Desk HQ.

    Yet, he faces a year with four criminal court battles looming, including in Georgia — where he and 18 former allies face charges of violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act for their alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election in the state.

    The AJC poll was conducted Jan. 3-11 by the University of Georgia’s School of Public and International Affairs among 1,007 registered voters in the state.
