Poll Being counter-FReeped by DU (Poll being DUmbed)
MRC ^

Posted on 12/06/2002 6:15:22 AM PST by Bluegrass Federalist

Looks like the morons at DU are DUmbing another poll at MRC, this time on whether the NYT has censored the Augusta issue. I say we let them do it, although I did vote. Apparently, they don't realize who reads MRC. I hope they are rally riledup to fix the poll, having some candlelight vigils and all. Absolutley no one will ever see that who would fall for it.

DU: the friends who remind normal Americans why DU is not exactly the Internet's most welcome watering hole.

I think in keeping with the new tone set by Bush in Washington, we ought to let the DUmbers win EVERY on-line poll. We'll just focus on winning actual elections.

Poll question:

Was the NY Times decision to spike two columns that disagreed the paper's editorial position an act of censorship?

Of course it was censorship. And now the NY Times has entered the Clintonian Spin Zone. Big time!!

It's ironic that in each case (the Times' efforts to downplay its ethical lapse and Clinton's attempts to downplay his ethical lapses) the outcome is a permanent smear on their reputations.

I guess that's what happens to people who act like they know what is best for all of us, but really just want to make us toe their party line.

I just voted, and the results showed 100% OPPOSED to the Times' position.

You are correct...here is what it looks like now.

Do you agree with the New York Times position that running sports columns critical of the paper's editorial stance would be "unseemly and self-absorbed"?

The comments are different than before, too.

The second one is VERY suspicious....

It would be a real eye-opener for NYT readers to get a view that's different from their weird, ultra-lib editorial page. 12/06/02 7:55:43 AM MST
Hurry up, seminar voters..it's 100% truth (no) so far. Are you guys awake yet..Hello...hello... 12/06/02 7:50:43 AM MST
Diversity, anyone? Not at the N.Y,Slimes..EVER!! 12/06/02 7:49:13 AM MST
Once again, the Times demonstrates it's all for diversity: except when it comes to the only kind of diversity that matters - diversity of thought. 12/06/02 7:36:27 AM MST

On-line "polls" are totally useless, other than it keeps those with double digit IQs busy. Anyone can vote as many times as they have the time to waste, even on those "polls" that allegedly allow only one vote.

Hah. They changed the wording of the poll so that "no" was the anti-NYT answer, and the DUmbers bought it! Every time they voted no, they were voting the wrong way! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Bozell, you are my new hero!
