SPIN THOSE POLLS! SPIN THOSE POLLS! [10/13 02:50 PM]

UPI reports on the efforts to spin online polls and mass-mailed letters to the editor.

President George W. Bush and Sen. John F. Kerry will walk across the stage Wednesday night and greet each other at the beginning of the third and final presidential debate. Already, across the country, e-mail messages are arriving in newsroom inboxes declaring a winner. A new form of spam is emerging this fall, called debate-spin spam, experts told UPI's The Web. The veracity of the e-mail messages being sent as letters to the editor is coming into question, as are the timing and content of many of the messages, because a significant percentage is being generated by bots, or intelligent software agents.

Which reminds me, it's time for the Pajamahadeen to continue our jujitsu operations. We had some success recently, but I think it's time to set our sights higher.

As usual, the instant online polls of news organizations, that the DNC is steering its members to here, will be less valuable and useful if the result is so stunningly skewed that no one believes it. So a poll that shows Kerry won 99 percent to 1 percent is less useful to the DNC than one that shows Kerry won 70 percent to 30 percent....

Of course, knowing the copycat DU, they will stop using them too! LOL!

That's already been suggested there...didn't get a very warm response!

Kerry's Spin Washer! ;-)

[Darksheare]

I just said that in post 97..
*chuckle*
I wouldn't be able to live with myself afterwards.

[BurbankKarl]

Nader won the debate.

I should email my letter to the LA Times right now

[4Godsoloved..Hegave]

Voter fraud is the most serious concern on the horizon.

I agree completely. Our energies would be much better placed in countering that real election fraud than online polls fraud.

Any ideas on how we in our communities can make a difference and keep this election as honest as possible?

[Route66]

I'm in. I stopped voting against the bots the Dems are using a while back. It is not worth the time nor the aggravation.

[Darksheare]

LOL!!

[CougarGA7]

I've said that before on "Freep this Poll" threads. If we want to do some damage tonight we should all go vote for Kerry on these ridiculous on-line polls. When the poll returns a result of 99% to 1%, no one will take it seriously.

[thingumbob]

They will be added to the master list.

OMG............and Hitler is in charge of it..............

[Just mythoughts]

Agree. Let them wear themselves and their 'puters out.

[MistyCA]

its because they lack the ability to think. That's why they are the dems and we are not. ;)

[MistyCA]

ditto

[NordP]

EXcellent!!!! Very creative. YOU'RE HIRED ;-)

[MistyCA]

lol

[Darksheare]

I've noticed that they run purely on emotion and instinctive twitching rather than actual thought and information.

[upstatenyrepublican]

Somebody on this site must know how to set up a voting loop to cast 1000's of spamming votes on these news sites. Not all of them block double voting. Come on...use our muscle!

[Quilla]

I agree, these polls are bogus and we shouldn't participate. And on a side note:

I'm shocked I tell you! I can't believe no one has started a pre-debate live thread.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Instead why doesn't everyone write to Fox, CNN, MSNBC after the debate and tell them what a GREAT job the president did in this debate? Maybe someone could post a email list we could all hit in mass.

[MistyCA]

Exactly. And they speak in soundbites.

[alwaysconservative]

Since online polls don't matter and votes on election day do, I concur with your suggestion to vote in the online polls just for sKerry. Vote several times for him on the online polls. Let's see how skewed we can make it!
