Pollsters who would go that far would just make up data if they couldn’t actually collect it. That makes my participation a wash at worst.
So you think they DON’T?.. i.e. make up things?..
Manipulating the caller base to the desired results is hidden agitprop.. Done all the time..
Like lawyers asking “LEADING” questions..
Except there is NO JUDGE to catch them.. i.e. pollesters..
“So you think they DON’T?.. i.e. make up things?..”
I’ve known that since the Reagan years.
I wrote, “Pollsters who would go that far would just make up data if they couldn’t actually collect it.”
Here’s the way the grammar works:
A girl who would chew gum would swear.
A girl who would swear would smoke.
A girl who would smoke would drink.
And we all know what a girl who would drink would do.
Or so the nuns taught my mother back in the nineteen-teens.
What I was saying was:
A pollster who would distort data would fabricate data.
And we all know that they do both.
