This is a good example of the Leftists inspired US polls. When the media is of one mind or controlled by the state, all the people hear is what the state wants them to hear. Then polls are conducted to assure the correct message was received. If not, more propaganda is applied and more polls are taken, until, voila, the public agrees with the state. Then those polls are used to reinforce the message.
You must be referring to the Boston Globe(alist)
