Inept (and often dishonest) pollsters are losing customers: For example, "Le Parisien", a famous French MSM newspaper, has just revealed that it won't publish polls anymore, because of massive failures by pollsters to predict the Brexit, and D. Trump (and later, F. Fillon) electoral victories... Good news, as it means, less money for crooked "liberal" pollsters!

"A quatre mois de la présidentielle française, l'un des principaux quotidiens du pays, Le Parisien, a annoncé mardi qu'il ne publierait plus de sondages, très critiqués pour avoir échoué à prédire les récents bouleversements politiques.

"C'est une réflexion qu'on a menée depuis quelques temps déjà, notamment après le Brexit et l'élection de Donald Trump" aux Etats-Unis, a expliqué le directeur des rédactions du Parisien"

Translation:
"Four months before the French presidential election, Le Parisien, one of France's main daily newspapers, stated on Tuesday that it would no longer publish polls... Polls have been criticized for failing to predict recent political upheavals.

"It's a policy that has been implemented for some time already, notably after the Brexit and the election of Donald Trump" in the United States, explained the editor of Le Parisien"

I believe you're wrong. Not publishing polls is even worse. Seeking out or creating polls with vastly better methodology would be the right choice for the media. Instead, refusing to post all polls is lazy "journalism" and leads to far more "typists."

Maybe then it's time for a Conservative businessman to start a new, incorruptible polling firm. A truthful, non-SJW polling organization that would honestly research and test public opinion... If I were a "right-wing", patriot billionaire, I would do just that, coupling it with a new Conservative televised media. There is money (and mind you, honest money) to make on the ashes of defeated leftist media and pollsters...

Just saw a Fillon interview that he did with TF1 I believe. Said that he sees himself as a Christian and Gaullist, and that will be reflected in his policies.

Would not be a bad choice at all. As long as he doesn't stray in to cuckservatism.

MSM polls what they want reality to be, not what the reality is. Lying scumbags deserving rope.

Fillion is also not hostile to Putin, unlike the Socialists. He'll get along with Trump and Putin.
