9. Their news on election polls is fake? It was obvious their polling wasn't great before the election

But claiming it was fake news seems pretty extreme. If you have some proof that would be helpful.

One might also consider that this election had some very huge last minute variables like the FBI director reopening the investigation to Hillary's email just days before the election can skew the results quite a bit.

Still we have the information here that these major news networks have provided. And it is obvious Clinton did not do that well in the rust belt so based on these polls and the results of the election it does seem trade was an important issue in this rust belt.

Unless there is major evidence of fraud by CNN and The Hill in their reporting of these election results I would hope people would consider these exit polls legitimate and consider what they reveal about trade issues and the rust belt in regards tot he presidential election.
