The fact that a CEO of a company that owns a station endorses a candidate does not prevent reports for that station from being biased against the candidate. In any case my argument doesn't require proof of intentional bias. The methodology of the poll was biased, it might not have been intentionally biased but it really doesn't matter. The poll sample contained a larger percentage of Democrats and a smaller percentage of Republicans than the percentages in the general population. Its not a surprise that CBS's poll results look bad for Bush. That doesn't mean that an unbiased poll would not also show low ratings for Bush, it probably would, just not as low as the ratings CBS's poll showed. Tim
