CNN Headline News lead with that at the half hour, it was sickening.
Hmm...check out this link:

Yes, Merry pointed that out. Something is fishy. I think the CBS Memo route didn't work out for them and they've gone to plan B. The AP was just as, if not MORE, involved in the guard story as CBS.
What are you talking about?
If only the Kerry lead polls are being published, how do you know the results of the other polls? Duh? They dont just magically appear on Free Republic. They are published in newspapers, magazines, websites, in press releases to all media. Blah Blah.
The polls that are going to get the widest coverage are those affilliated with the AP/Washington Post/NYT because there stuff gets picked up by other papers and repeated and by the weekly newsweeklies because they are well known by the public.
My home page is netscape.com (soon to change.) I logged on this evening and the headline was "Polls Change: Kerry now ahead of Bush." Click on the article and it is ONE poll. The misrepresentation by the media is just mind boggling.
Until the internals are posted, I'd dismiss it without a second thought.
Plese check the Polipundit site and piece on this - still no internals, and the thing has been out for over 12 hours. Polipundits are bird dogging it. Not only a Yahoo headline story by Ron Fournier (I just learned tonight he persuaded Al Gore to start the attempted GTE - Grand theft Election - in Fla 2000 and is of course a complete Dem shill) with the headline "numbers", but it's been up on Real Clear since this morning. I bet there will be some busy little bees buzzing around Ap and Ipsos this weekend, especially after the debate tomorrow, which will give them another excuse to jerk the numbers around even more.
How far do you think they'll try to go?
Who cares if Kerry does? This is about winning the Electoral Count. Keep your eyes on the ball!
They all get press. This one is getting special attention because none of them have showed Kerry leading since the Swift Boat stuff started. It is wise strategically to use the attention this poll is getting to discredit the media as biased though.
