CNN and Fox News Kill Edwards Runaway Victory Poll numbers
(* I thought CNN was the "liberal" media?)

Time Warner’s Cable News Network abruptly yanked a poll from the front page of their website Tuesday which was favoring Democratic vice-presidential candidate John Edwards by more than a three-to-one margin. They then replaced it in the 12 p.m EDT hour today, completely eliminating all previous results.

The original poll, which asked simply, “Who do you think won the vice presidential debate?” was replaced in the eleven o’clock p.m. hour Tuesday with “Did the vice presidential debate help you decide which way you will vote?”

Today, the original question was reinstated, but the results from the original poll were discounted.

Some 200,000 previous responses to the poll were deleted when the new poll was posted. The previous poll can be seen here where at press time 78 percent of the vote went to Edwards, 18 percent for Cheney, and four percent declaring that the contest had been a tie. The new poll has Cheney with nearly twice as much support.

CNN did not return a request for comment placed this morning.

Fox News also pulled a poll from their front page asking who won the debate late Tuesday. Edwards had been leading in the Fox poll by a smaller margin.
