  "textContent": "Gallup polling announces it will cease its 88-year-old practice of tracking the approval ratings of the president.\n\nSome suspect this is because the current president — the bully — is threatening to sue Gallup if it continues to report on how many people detest him.\n\nI would compare this to his sabotaging of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. They add up to a practice of trying to deny the public information that makes him look bad.",
