Hey, if we are going to post stupid polls with no meaning, might as well post them on both sides.

Awesome! From Salon, no less!

Got any other links from Common Dreams, Move On, HuffPo, etc.?

BTW, Gabby, have you been watching Sarah's show on TLC? Isn't she hot?

Her hotness is her only good quality.

You do realize that Gabby is going to deduct a few Lib Points for saying that, right?

Wow, a loaded question where 3 of the 4 options carry some blame on Palin? :laugh: You're absolutely right, it has no meaning except that there are stupid people out there.


A map on Sarah Palin's website that marked 20 congressional districts, including the district represented by the congresswoman who was shot, with an image that looked like the crosshairs of a gun

Great deal 19% ... Moderate amount 16% ... Not much 15% ... Not at all 44%

Actually it was a Daily Kos/PPP poll and you (like the rest of the liberal media) are cherrypicking the numbers




snip

What Olbermann and Company did for the Palin option was add the "Great deal" responses to the "Moderate amount" ones to come up with 35 percent.

However, the "44 percent did not" comprised only those that said "Not at all." The "Not much" category was completely ignored.

As those familiar with poll reporting are well aware, if you're going to include "Moderate amount" with the "Yes" answers, it is customary to include the "Not much" replies with the "Nos".

What this means is Olbermann, if he was trying to be honest - I know that's a real stretch for this shill! - should have reported this datum, "35 percent thought Mrs. Palin’s infamous target map was a factor; 59 percent did not."

If he wasn't going to include the in-between responses, he should have said, "19 percent thought Mrs. Palin’s infamous target map was a factor; 44 percent did not."

I guess Olbermann didn't want his audience to know just how much respondents to this poll disagreed with him and the rest of the liberal media, especially those on MSNBC.
