One question out of 9 is wrong the whole study is wrong.

Garbage in Garbage out.

Farleigh Dickinson University — surely a paragon of education.

I was on FDU campus the week that OJ Simpson was acquitted, I was in the Cafeteria at the time that his acquittal was announced. It was truly an embarrassing moment when 95% of the people in the cafeteria stood up and clapped and cheered for 5 minutes.

Ironically I also happened to be stuck for 6 hours at the split 405 and 5 that day OJ was being driven up and down while holding a gun to his head.

Kinda reminds me of Cleavon Little’s line in Blazing Saddles. “Stop or the Ni***r gets it”.

Compare the MSM media’s know-nothing tally of Iowa delegates to the actual results:

Iowa’s 28 delegates to the Republican National Convention will include *at least* 12 Ron Paul supporters.

Only two currently selected delegates, Gov. Terry Branstad and Sen. Chuck Grassley, are publicly supporting Romney. One known delegate is supporting Santorum.

Fifteen delegates remain to be chosen in a few weeks, with Paul supporters certain to end up with an overall majority.

"Farleigh Dickinson University — surely a paragon of education."

Around these parts it is known as Fairly Ridiculous University.

Same thing is happening across the country. Minnesota, Nevada...

Paultards sure are busy bunch. But it will be all for nothing I suspect. They all love to waste their own time.

Other recent findings suggest ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MSNBC viewers are robots, don’t have a mind of their own.

On the surface (as with many “polls”) you might be puzzled by the results and have some trouble explaining them. However, with a little statistical knowledge you would step back and realize the poll suffers from “base rate fallacy” and possibly other problems, too. The number of people watching Fox News and the number of listeners to NPR are very very different. The makeup of Fox News viewers also differs from hour to hour. NPR broadcasts are mainly listened to by small audiences at different times and from locations often near universities which house public radio FM stations—BIG POINT TO KNOW. Demographics matter.

Now, guess which audience more likely gets its paycheck from gov’t (Dem voters) and which audience is more diverse and gets paid by non-gov’t agencies.

Santorum won the Iowa caucus, the USA has spent the most money bailing out banks in Europe (not Germany) and anybody that thinks the unemployment rate is 8.1% needs to wake up and smell the bs. So there is 3 questions right there that the researchers have wrong answers to their own questions.
