Fake News
5 Times the Media Predicted an Ossoff Win
- CNN cites an Atlanta Journal-Constitution Poll to say that Ossoff was up 51% to 44%.
“Democrat Jon Ossoff has a 7 percentage point edge over Republican Karen Handel among likely voters in a closely watched special election for a Georgia House seat, a new poll released Friday shows”
- DNC Chairman Tom Perez:
“I think we’re going to win the race”
- New York Magazine hints that the GOP failed in tying Jon Ossoff to Kathy Griffin:
“Even as Comey-mania broke out in Washington this week, the most expensive U.S. House race in history chugged toward its June 20 climax with fresh signs that Jon Ossoff is in a good position to finally give Democrats the special-election win they crave”
- Salon introduces a ridiculous headline:
“The Ossoff boom continues with lead in new poll, increase in voter registration”
- The Washington Post states Ossoff won already with a preemptive headline:
“Jon Ossoff may have won Georgia’s 6th district this past week”
