Another Day Another CNN Lie

So I turn it on CNN for 10 minutes while eating breakfast, and this is what I see:
Fat CNN Sunday Host:
Here's a link to the poll: LINK
If you look at the details, it was conducted by a company called Morning Consult. If you go further into the details, they link a PDF showing their methodology. Here is what it says:
The CNN's host said that online polls aren't scientific and that everyone should just ignore this poll. However, this isn't just an "online" poll like one might find here at TD asking who the hottest porn star is or a poll on Fox News's website or CNN's website asking whether we support Hillary or Trump. Everyone knows those polls aren't scientific because the samples are not representative of the population as a whole (they are heavily self-selected).
However, this poll appears legit. They carefully selected their sample of 1991 people and provided lots of lead-in questions about voting history, party affiliation, etc. The only difference is this was conducted online and not on the phone. The poll is legit. CNN is just mad.
Every time I turn it on CNN for a few minutes I can find them telling lies. And they wonder why no one trusts them.

This poll was conducted from October 12-16, 2017, among a national sample of 1991 registered voters. The interviews were conducted online and the data were weighted to approximate a target sample of registered voters based on age, race/ethnicity, gender, educational attainment, and region. Results from the full survey have a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.

That certainly never stops them from touting their CNN polls

So cluelessly, as usual, CNN just said their own online polls they love conducting are worthless and should be ignored...

Of course it is, because it says what you want it to say.
Approval ratings, though. Those are utter bullshite. Amirite?!
ETA: I missed the lie that CNN told. What was that?

He lie that online polls are unscientific.
That is not true
Grad school public opinion courses use online polls

CNN dismissed the poll as unscientific and unrepresentative because it was conducted online but the poll's methodology shows that to be false due to the diligent selection process.
Sorry about your Engrish problem.

Anyone remember that line by him?

Only one lie per day? I've heard Fox News reel off a dozen lies in an hour, and that's not even Hannity...

So you know that there are trolls and motivated groups looking to skew online polls but you think that this one is immune?
