This just in, the media is biased, therefore any poll supported by said media is biased. These people are NOT to be trusted.

"They would have been used as 'evidence' to support a rigged vote, had the Democrats had the opportunity to do so."

This fits in with the 60 Minutes report right before election day that electronic voting machines are unreliable and easily hacked. Seems like a very carefully orchestrated set up to claim fraud after the election.

Interesting analysis, with a lot of remarkable details.

I respectfully disagree with the conclusion, however. Media bias didn't work as successfully as they hoped, especially because of Rathergate, but I'm pretty sure it helped kerry by at least 5% and probably more.

The great majority of uninformed voters get their news from the papers and the talking heads. And what they got from these sources was major lying and obfuscation for four years, deriding and demonizing bush and covering for the Dems and kerry.

Smart voters go on the internet and look into the facts for themselves. But millions of voters simply don't do that, and never see what we see. They get their opinions from TV, from neighbors, from teachers, from Hollywood, and they suck it all in without really noticing where it comes from.

I will point out the bogus exit polls were immediately discredited on FR after they were posted on drudge, NRO and wonkette. Most of the posters here were calling it a fraud before anyone in the MSM or the blogs.

Overlooked in all this is the compelling evidence of market manipulation via the exit polls that should trigger an SEC investigation.

In lieu of a vanity post, and because this topic is about rigged polls, I offer this question from today's (11/10/04) Zogby online poll for subscribers:

Which of the following statements comes closest to your own opinion - A or B?

Statement A: The country is deeply divided and the President and Republicans in Congress need to make some compromises with the Democrats in Congress to try to bring the country together?

Statement B: The President and Republicans in Congress won a mandate from the people and they should go ahead with their agenda regardless of what the Democrats think.

Needless to say, I chose "B", but look at "A". Why do the Republicans have to compromise with the Democrats? Shouldn't the losers be more obliged to compromise with the winners?

Shouldn't the question be more properly worded "Should the Congressional Republicans and Democrats both make some compromises to bring the country together?"

If FCC chief Michael Powell has any cojones, he will investigate the collusion between the Kerry campaign and ABC, CBS, and CNN. And those of us concerned with such corruption must beat the drum from now until 2008, reminding voters that exit polls are just another form of Democrat disinformation.
The FCC is not about to step up to the plate and challenge broadcast journalism. It is a stretch to suggest that even the SCOTUS is willing to be independent of the consensus of journalism - the consensus of journalists that journalism is objective. After all, only one justice of the Supreme Court (Thomas) refuses to read the newspapers. All the others subject themselves to the influence of negative, superficial, arrogant journalism. And this is the same bunch that upheld McCain-Feingold, which makes no sense as law if you understand that the press which does not include broadcasting is protected, by the First Amendment, from any governmental requirement to be "fair."

But then we ought at least to try, by suing the FCC and its licensees. Certainly, we need not wait for Congress to do anything courageous like that!

Why Broadcast Journalism is
Unnecessary and Illegitimate

How about people just lying to exit pollers? I know I have and would do so again.

"Shouldn't the question be more properly worded 'Should the Congressional Republicans and Democrats both make some compromises to bring the country together?'"

Norm-Norm, the question was skillfully worded to appeal to & hold of the Liberal-Socialist brainstem.
And I think the quisling Zotbee did a masterful job.

Shameless & pandering, absolutely.

...but masterful.
