Amazingly enough, however, the same newsrooms that conducted the surveys either highlighted disapproval for Trump or flat-out dismissed the protest criticism, as The Blaze’s Leon Wolf noted Friday.

The ESPN survey found that respondents oppose the protests 51 to 39 percent. Yet, this is the headline ESPN ran Friday: “ESPN survey shows Americans interested, divided on NFL protests during national anthem.”

The CBS survey found something similar: 52 percent of respondents oppose the protests, while only 38 approve. This is the headline that CBS ran Friday: “Democrats, Republicans divide over NFL protests, Trump comments – poll.”
