Debunked Q poll caused 3,725% increase in search returns of Hillary and liar
By Shareblue Staff |
SEPTEMBER 23, 2016
Just over a year ago, Quinnipiac published a word association poll that falsely branded Hillary Clinton a "liar." Even though it was thoroughly debunked, the poll set off a cascade of misleading coverage that continues to reverberate today.
Snip
Tommy Christopher points out that the poll was largely responsible for what is now a deeply entrenched election theme:
According to the Internet Archives TV News database, examples of the words Hillary and liar increased by 3,725% in the year following that poll, versus the year before it.
From August 2014 through July 2015, there were 56 examples. Since then, there have been 2,086.
Clintons detractors have spent decades deliberately eroding trust in her, but before this Q poll hit, calling Hillary a liar in the mass media was a relative rarity. Then, like a knifes edge, references to Hillary and liar shot up like a rocket after the poll was published on August 27, 2015.
Yet another reason why we #DemandFairDebates.
