MSNBC-Newsweek threw a hissy fit when FReeping was exposed as the reason a poll didn't go "the right way".

Link, please. I have to see this.

MS-NBC: Are You a Bush Booster -- or Basher? (Updated: 5:27 p.m. ET Feb. 12, 2004)

Tell us if you approve of President George W. Bush's overall job performance and whether you think he will be re-elected in the upcoming election. Click the "Vote" button at the bottom to submit your results and see others' responses, then click here to see how Americans nationwide answered these and other questions in this week's NEWSWEEK poll.

Editor's Note: This week, the online version of the Newsweek poll received an unusually high rate of response, with the clear majority of participants casting uniform votes. For these reasons, we believe the poll is being intentionally manipulated. In addition, we received an e-mail alert suggesting that the campaign is being coordinated by at least one special-interest group.

And YES, they did include the link to an FR thread in that partisan editorial rant. So then I used it as an opportunity to educate visitors that there are also documented acts of DUping, DUmping, and ISLAMming polls.
