Boxer: "Our boys are all drugged up and wore out, let's cut and run" Mohamedjones: " Go Hezbollah!"

Polling is Being Used as Propaganda The Mainstream Media has an addiction, which is that they are addicted to inaccurate polls. They report new polling data constantly, and fail to tell us where they got the data from. A recent example would be a poll that was released by CBS, showing that President Bush’s approval ratings are at an all time low (34%). But of course they fail to tell their viewers where they got these figures from. Well, here are the facts, According to the Media Research Center, “[What] CBS failed to fairly tell Americans is that the CBS poll relied on responses from far more Democrats than Republicans and that nearly all the questions were crafted to cast the President in a negative light, reported the Media Research Center today in its Media Reality Check. A posting of poll results listed 409 Democratic respondents versus 272 Republican respondents. CBS then “weighted” the results to effectively count 289 Republicans versus 381 Democrats.(source)” The Media Research Center also found that, “recent presidential approval-rating polls show a massive gap between Bush’s approval and disapproval ratings of 25 percent (34-59), which is far outside the usual margin. A recent Fox News-Opinion Dynamics poll, however, had a gap of only 3 percent (44 percent approve, 47 percent disapprove).(source)” Of course once CBS aired this poll, the rest of the liberal media jumped on-board and promoted this inaccurate poll. But if Fox News releases their own poll, which shows Bush with a less damning approval rating, the rest of the media will ignore it (Fox is believed to be pro-Bush). This is an example of liberal bias at its best, and it’s no secret that the MSM is anti-Bush. For example, the media has only reported the negative news about the war in Iraq, and they have ignored all of the good news. The people that run the MSM may want to read of few books on how to be optimistic. You may also want to note, according to the MRC, “As the blogosphere quickly discovered from CBS's online report, CBS "weighted" its sample to reflect an ideal cross-section of American adults. They adjusted the number of self-described Republicans up to 28 percent and Democrats down to 37 percent, and independents with the rest. That's hardly the exit-poll breakdown the networks found on Election Day 2004 (37 percent GOP, 37 percent Democrat, 26 percent independent).(source)” What can you conclude from all of this? You can easily conclude that all of these polls that the MSM shows us are pure B.S. Therefore, your best bet is to ignore all of them.
