Yea, GREAT FREAKIN poll, and a brilliant example WHY I HATE the MEDIA.....and more importantly why I'm totally, TOTALLY disgusted with liberals........and conservatives that use bullcrap polls like this. All it does is generate a list of CRAPPY misinformation.

I can give you a billion examples of National polls and national statistics.

I can also GUARANTEE you that most smart liberals and most smart conservatives know that some media outlets are slanted.

I used to think you fell into that category, but I'm not too sure anymore.

LOL, I knew when I posted that it would get you in a uproar over the attack on the all mighty alter that is Fox News. If you notice I did say "just for fun" when I posted it.

Most polls are usually done using small numbers of people that fit into larger demograpic groups, in this case I would assume it used people who watched Fox, CNN, NPR.... as their news sources and I would think they required a certain amount of time watching their prefered source before being allowed to participate. Both of these should cause no different outcome in the results no matter where they polled because it's the same Fox News, CNN, NPR.... in NJ as it is any where else.

I know that polls, stats and the like can be worded to get the desired results but I'm not sure this is the case here. JMHO


I really don't prefer any of the media outlets and watch a little of all of them when I have a chance but Fox News and MSNBC leave a really bad taste in my mouth after about 15 min of watching either one.
