Do you not have to assume that someone posting that, a pollster even, has to be compromised in some way? I don't just mean like, black mail, but has to be marked as a source of false information when it matters due to:

  • TDS - Simply hates Trump so much they've lost control of rational thinking to point to the right-wing media as complicit in spreading Russian disinformation and are essentially knowingly aiding Russia because it generates clicks? (Isn't right-wing media doing fantastically in terms of eye bells and $, while left-wing media has had a bloodbath at least in terms of $?)

  • Is simply in the "everyone's doing it" category and has no issues lying for whatever benefit he can accrue from it.

  • Is so stupid that he's unknowingly a useful idiot.

All of these are some make him 100% unreliable in any pronouncements he makes simply because the first one was so counter to reality, such enormous levels of projection or just outright infected with an idea pathogen. It feels to me as if the trick to defeating media gaslighting is to have them gaslight harder - eventually someone catches them in the act and once aware of it, can no longer be gaslit. Essentially red pilling by extreme gaslighting.
