Forums - Politics Discussion - Trump campaign releases odd survey

Someone in my campus was talking about it, so I thought I'd give it a go. The questions were worded like those scam surveys you see online, so I had a chuckle and put the most liberal-like response just for the heck of it :P

 

I put this in general (and not politics) since it's just talking about the survey, not any topic such as media bias/liberals/whatever

Funny, not 10 minutes after I saw your thread I read this

https://www.thestar.com/news/world/2017/02/17/donald-trump-calls-the-media-the-enemy-of-the-american-people.html

“Much of the media in Washington, D. C. — along with New York, Los Angeles, in particular — speaks not for the people, but for the special interests and for those profiting off a very, very obviously broken system,” Trump said early in the news conference, which lasted an hour and 15 minutes. “The press has become so dishonest that if we don’t talk about, we are doing a tremendous disservice to the American people. Tremendous disservice. We have to talk to find out what’s going on, because the press honestly is out of control. The level of dishonesty is out of control.”

That night, the Republican Party and Trump’s campaign websites posted a “Mainstream Media Accountability Survey” that asked 25 questions that were worded in a way that would never be allowed in a scientific survey. The survey formalized Trump’s attacks and his insinuation that media outlets are working against the American people. It’s unclear what, if anything, the data will be used for, and participants are required to give their name, email address and Zip code.

.....

Digital fundraising experts said the media accountability survey appeared designed to keep Trump’s most loyal supporters engaged. People who fill out the questionnaire are taken to a donation page where they are asked to give between $35 and $2,500 — with the option of making a monthly recurring donation.

“President Trump is asking you to go the extra mile and make a contribution to help defend our movement from the outrageous attacks from the media coming our way,” it states. “Contribute now to help us fight back against the media’s attacks and deceptions.”

(By the end of December, Trump had already socked away $7 million into his campaign account, money that officials said they are stockpiling for his 2020 reelection.)

Disgusting. Yet ofcourse the foreign press (Canadian in this instance) is definitely the enemy of the american people as well. Must be fake news.

What the fuck is that survey? It's really predatory and tries to push the person taking it to answer a certain way.

This administration is a nightmare.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Is that survey actually new?  It looks like something that was posted before the New Year.

It is new. Not only does it ask you to donate to "President Trump's campaign", but it also was featured on Russian Times several hours ago.

I find it funny how he always criticized other opponents for asking for fundraisers, and yet has $2,500 as an option. Most organizations go up to $100 (rarely more) and have "other" as an option.

So the US president is now literally a scam artist.

It still boggles my mind how anyone could vote for him. I knew the US had fucked up their education system bad and that critical thinking is not on the agenda, but this is atrocious. How do you still support someone who has been obviously lying at every juncture of their road to presidency, and is trying their best to stifle freedom of press in favor of hype pieces around their person? All under the guise of 'making America great again' and by accusing literally evreyone who points out his inaccurate 'fact's or just plain doesn't agree with him of lying no matter how well proven their arguments are. The guy basically lives in an alternate reality. Whenever I stop to really think about what the people of the US voted to be their president I'm gobsmacked. Just.....how....?
