AND THE PRESS, LIKE JOHN DICKERSON HERE, ALWAYS LETS THEM GET AWAY WITH IT: Hillary campaign manager denies poll reality.

Despite numerous polls showing that voters do not trust Hillary Clinton, her campaign manager Robby Mook repeatedly asserted on CBS’s “Face the Nation” Sunday that “no poll shows that voters don’t trust Hillary.”

A new CNN/ORC poll that found 57% of Americans do not find Clinton “honest and trustworthy” and that more people have an unfavorable view of her now than at any time since 2001.

Even Democrats and people who want Hillary to win believe “the biggest problem for her is trust,” said host John Dickerson. “The voters and the polls have shown this. Voters do not trust her. How does she overcome that?”

“First of all, no poll shows that voters don’t trust Hillary,” said Mook.

“They don’t find her honest and trustworthy,” argued Dickerson.

“Well, no poll says that,” said Mook.

Unfortunately the host did not rebut Mook with the poll data as he launched into his Hillary pitch, including a reference to the “stacked deck” and said the “central question” for voters is not trustworthiness but whether Hillary Clinton will “be a tenacious fighter for them, to go to bat for them.”

That “I’ll fight for you” line sounds like a late-night plaintiffs’ lawyer ad. When things are looking down . . . look me up!

Hey, this story sounds familiar.

UPDATE: I’m a bit unfair to Dickerson here, as I’ve noted in a later post.
