Tom's Pals Warp Parade Poll


Excerpt:
April 18, 2006 -- TOM Cruise's cronies seem to have put a lot of effort into skewing a Parade magazine poll in his favor. Parade.com recently asked online readers whether they thought Cruise was responsible for his disastrous public relations year or if it was the media's fault. A shocking 84 percent of respondents blamed the press. But Parade publicist Alexis Collado tells us: "We at Parade found this a little bit fishy, so we did some investigating. We found out more than 14,000 (of the 18,000-plus votes) that came in were cast from only 10 computers!

"We at Parade found this a little bit fishy, so we did some investigating. We found out more than 14,000 (of the 18,000-plus votes) that came in were cast from only 10 computers!

I'm shocked, shocked that people would do that to a poll.

Assuming all 14000 of those false votes were for "press's fault", that would leave the 4000 legitimate votes split 72%-28% thinking Tom Cruise is a loon.
