As I have proven from an earlier post, Obama's approval numbers are HIGHER than Reagan's because he was clearly a better president.
Ok Frog, Christmas is over... time to make the donuts:
1. Simple Logic with your "ratings" :
A. Differing approval ratings don't necessarily mean ANYTHING about a person's ACTUAL PERFORMANCE, they only reflect PERCEIVED PERFORMANCE.
B. Approval ratings may not even reflect PERCEIVED PERFORMANCE, they may only reflect POPULARITY... and as we all remember from High School days... that doesn't mean much.
C. I'm not willing to even ACCEPT these approval ratings as being VALID until you provide links to them on a credible site... a site that is politically unbiased and which has proper documentation for the ratings.
D. Even if the numbers ARE real and documented, we'll have to take a look at WHO generated these numbers, and WHAT METHODOLOGY they used... the methodology could well render them meaningless.
Conclusion #1: There are a MULTITUDE of reasons theses numbers could be meaningless.
Conclusion #2: I'm not concerned about Reagan's ratings anyway... it's IRRELEVANT to current politics.
2. The fact that your latest link to the Paladino story appears to be a real story,
does NOT get you out of the woods for posting FAKE NEWS in the past.
A. You've posted a number of FAKE NEWS incidents previously, which were later found to be erroneous or exaggerated.
B. I do NOT believe you did this intentionally.
I've accused you of not doing proper research; I have not accused you of intentionally lying.
(Not so far.)
I believe you took articles from liberal sites that were just running cheap smear tactics during the election, and therefore publishing a lot of fake stories... and so you wound up with some fake news.
C. However, since I don't believe you vet or research what you post... I suspect this will happen again.
3. When Utah called that Paladino story fake, he was probably just trusting MY research on the topic, as I usually vet things carefully before I post... so I'll take the heat for that one.
A. I definitely checked it, but I didn't check it carefully enough.
B. The "actual story" you linked to was a SMALL PARAGRAPH on PAGE 12 of a 26 PAGE ARTICLE...
I simply looked but didn't see it.
4. I want to reiterate, that although the Paladino story appears to be a REAL STORY, it is still an IRRELEVANT STORY.
A. It really has nothing to do with Trump; he didn't make the comments, and he doesn't hold those sentiments.
B. Trump's team came out immediately AGAINST the Paladino comments, and took a clear public stand against them.
C. NOBODY is EVER responsible for EVERY STUPID THING said by a colleague.
