More propagana from the scumbags at the Slimes. The liberal media knows no depths to which they won't sink.

Thanks for posting this.
I've been checking the sampling mix used by various polls whenever possible. The bias in the LAT poll is ridiculous.

What, the LA Times is biased? GASP! Tell me it isn't so!!

Bush is not going to win California. Any poll that suggests he shouldn't waste any time in this state will most likely help him win the country overall.

The L.A. Times may be doing Bush a favor. A number of Monday-morning quarterbacks after the Bush/Gore contest suggested that Bush wasted too much time and money trying to win or be competitive in California with nothing to show for it.

Except that this is a national poll.

gw is going to win ny, fl, tx, and ca. kerry is going to win mass and that's about it...

>>>Except that this is a national poll.

That's right. But the 38%, 25%, 24% breakdown is way off the mark. It's a lot closer to a three way split nationally. This seems to be geared for the LA metro area.

I'd say the LASlimes is "California dreaming".

Those dirty bastards! Brit Hume mentioned the 13% more democrats on his show this afternoon. This needs to be reported and written about nationally. What a crock.

This isn't bias. It's plain dishonest. It makes one wonder if the press deserves its freedom. I don't think the Founders had a deceptive, unethical, self-serving press in mind.

Why bother to fight this fight? The only poll that matters is the one that happens in November. If you remember, the liberal media couldn't get that one right even with exit polls.

[EllaMinnow]

I know. Poll breakdowns this year all seem to be way off the mark. I think they were way off in 2002 as well, that's why we had so may "surprise" victories.

Propaganda Poll PING!!!

LA Slimes, Campaigning for Kerry 24/7.

Inside the LAtimes Poll(38 % Democratic, 25% Republican, 24% Independent)...

Right, but these numbers are based on what the LA Times staff call themselves. More and more, Liberals are calling themselves 'independent', 'moderate', 'centrist', and stuff like that. Looking at these numbers in the real world, the LA Times is 38% Democratic + 24% Independent = 62% liberal. And that's the skewed number of this poll. Let's not forget, 90% of the press vote hard Democrat.

[Starve The Beast]

Hey, has anybody but me noticed that there have been an unusually high number of items in the press recently questioning liberal bias?

It seems that as we get closer to the election, two things are happening: One, the major newspapers except for the WSJ, all three broadcast news outlets, and all cable news stations except for Fox, have become almost comically biased against Bush; and, second, that we hear a lot more than we used to about how there's no liberal bias. Is it just me?

Actually what the founders had in mind was a MORE partisan press. However, they also thought the press would be seen in that light. The problem here is that there is an expectation of impartiality that does not exist.

[Huck]

MSN.COM ran a headline on their front page today: "Rising Doubts about Iraq." It was entirely based on the Slimes poll. Sickening.
