Debunked Q poll caused 3,725% increase in search returns of “Hillary” and “liar”

OR: WHY NO ONE SHOULD BUY WHAT Q POLL IS SELLING..EVER.
Yet Qpoll was CNN's standard daily go-to-poll.
Qpoll is anti-dem propaganda.

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 Archive’s 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.

Clinton’s 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 knife’s 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.
