Don't waste your time -- take a look at the Drudge siren headline..... heh heh heh.
Don't bother to freep CNN polls. I don't freep any poll, but that's like trying to freep a Soviet Union poll.
I'm so confused. Do freep or do we NOT freep polls ?
I'm thinking we don't..
NBC BLOWS A HOLE IN THE KERRY ATTACK ABOUT THE EXPLOSIVES [10/25 09:09 PM]
Jim Miklaszewski of NBC News pretty much dismantled the New York Times attack on behalf of Kerry today.
NBC News: Miklaszewski: “April 10, 2003, only three weeks into the war, NBC News was embedded with troops from the Army's 101st Airborne as they temporarily take over the Al Qakaa weapons installation south of Baghdad. But these troops never found the nearly 380 tons of some of the most powerful conventional explosives, called HMX and RDX, which is now missing. The U.S. troops did find large stockpiles of more conventional weapons, but no HMX or RDX, so powerful less than a pound brought down Pan Am 103 in 1988, and can be used to trigger a nuclear weapon. In a letter this month, the Iraqi interim government told the International Atomic Energy Agency the high explosives were lost to theft and looting due to lack of security. Critics claim there were simply not enough U.S. troops to guard hundreds of weapons stockpiles, weapons now being used by insurgents and terrorists to wage a guerrilla war in Iraq.” (NBC’s “Nightly News,” 10/25/04)
If Jill Abramson, managing editor of the New York Times, had a shred of concern over her paper's reputation for getting the facts right never mind objectivity or fairness, she would be running the correction - or at least this blatantly contradictory information - in the giant headline font and above-the-fold location that today's story got. But I guess the interest in echoing the sentiments of Maureen Dowd is more important than getting it right at the Old Gray Lady.
BILL CLINTON, COMING TO A NEIGHBORHOOD NEAR YOU [10
Wouldn't freep any media poll if they were paying me.
no polls
Yeah, I used to vote a hundred or so times on each and not only is it boring, but it's pointless at the same time. Also, there was a poll last week on PMSNBC we freep'd bigtime 54 - 46 Bush and they never reported on it, so even if we win it doesn't matter anyway. :p
BAM!
This is a 'when did you stop beating your wife' type question.
Imagine if they asked:
"Are the cops responsible for a rise in muggings?"
excuse me, what about the muggers?
what about a choice?
who's to blame for stolen explosives? the guards, or the theives?
This deserves a WOW...
I don't FReepin' know what we're supposed to FReepin' do with FReepin' polls.
no polls
Typical MSM. More interested in assessing the damage caused by a lie than providing the truth.
This freeper never ever gives any attention to the media polls.
I know. I was just trying to be FReepin' funny.
Exactly, and if they win it doesn't matter, either. Occasionally, you'll see a story mentioning an internet poll outcome in favor of a leftie, but even they usually quickly refer to the fact that they're unscientific. FR has done enough poll-blasting to ensure that the media doesn't treat any result as valid, and rightly so.
Yup, in January, and we got there in March!
IT'S PRESIDENT BUSH'S FAULT!!!!!
I sent a freepin e-mail to "contact us" at CNN suggesting that they check out the Drudge site and then maybe take down their poll, cuz they don't want to look STOOOOOPID, did they?
I then suggested that they try and research some of the stories they run before they use them to support a horse-faced horse's ass.
AHHHH...that felt good.
