Needs Freeping Big Time. At this moment only 16% of those voting agree that "The press is overemphasizing bad news", while 61% think that "Things are worse in the Iraq than the media says" and 23% believe that "The picture is fairly balanced and accurate".

Who knew the Newsweek folks had such large extended families?

MSNBC polls are the worse! I'm on their daily polls e-mail list. Anything that might be favorable to the President comes into the box at about 6:00pm. Other polls come in earlier in the day. Note this one was over the weekend. I always write a comment whenever I vote about how stupid their questions are. And they repeat the questions about 3 times a week in a so-slightly different wording. They are BIASED BIASED BIASED.

PS I voted and it's 18% now. We need to write MSNBC and say they need more conservative hosts, or at least more non-biased ones.

I used to subscribe to Newsweek but found them to be so left-wing that they have no credibility whatsoever. It would seem that the writers for Globe are better informed than the idiots who have the run of this magazine. This is a gossip tabloid - not a credible news source.

Look at this: "It appears that your browser doesn't support cookies, so we can't record your vote. If you've received this message in error, please contact MSNBC technical support. "

seems as if they have set their poll to reject any chance of being freeped.

It almost looks like they have a computer program to input enough votes to make it come out the way they want it. Of course they are far above a dishonest act like that...right?
