Trump Sues Three More Media Companies, Prominent Pollster, ‘Brazen Election Interference’

By /

President-elect Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit against a well-known Iowa pollster and several media companies, claiming they released a deliberately deceptive poll before the election to manipulate the results of the election.

Key Facts:

– Trump is suing pollster J. Ann Selzer, the Des Moines Register, Gannett Co., Inc., and the Tribune Company.
– The disputed poll, published just before the election, showed Trump trailing Vice President Kamala Harris in Iowa by three points.
– Contrary to the poll, Trump ultimately won Iowa by a large margin of over 13 points.
– The lawsuit alleges “brazen election interference” and seeks triple damages under the Iowa Consumer Fraud Act.
– Trump’s lawyers say the poll was intentionally manipulated to shape voter perception.

The Rest of The Story:

Trump’s legal team argues that the poll was not only inaccurate, but also purposefully skewed to influence the election.

According to the lawsuit, left-leaning pollsters and their media platforms misled voters by presenting Harris as more competitive than she actually was.

Trump’s attorneys contend that this approach compelled Republicans to waste time and resources, while artificially boosting Democratic enthusiasm.

In response, Trump wants the defendants to reveal how the poll was conducted and what data they used.

He claims that because the pollster’s reputation was strong, many people trusted the results without question.

If successful, the lawsuit could set a precedent for how polling practices are scrutinized and reported in the future.

Commentary:

We value a free press that challenges authority and keeps government officials on their toes. This tradition ensures that no one, regardless of political affiliation, escapes public scrutiny.

However, we must also acknowledge that deliberately misleading the public for partisan ends is not acceptable.

Just as it is illegal to shout “fire” in a crowded theater, so too must we reject intentionally false stories that can influence our democracy.

There is a line between tough reporting and flat-out manipulation.

We hope the courts uphold this principle and that Trump prevails if the evidence backs his claims.

America’s future depends on honest debate and transparent journalism.

The Bottom Line:

Trump’s lawsuit accuses a respected pollster and major media outlets of skewing election data to favor Harris.
