Bark, bark. Bark at the moon.....
According to Media Whores Online, former journalist Wolf Blitzer is starting to question some of his own polls...when they don't skew the way he wants them to:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wolf Blitzer featured a poll on Monday's program:
When it comes to Iraq, whom do you trust more: The Bush administration or the UN?
The result:
Bush administration: 32%
UN: 68%
After reading the results, Wolf introduced Lou Dobbs, whose program follows Wolf's. Lou made a point to ask, "Wolf, let me ask you a question...Do you trust that poll?"
Wolf responded, "no," and a good laugh was had by all.
Why did Lou Dobbs single out this poll among all others for ridicule?
Of course ALL online polls are self-selectively bogus, and no respectable news network should feature them. But this poll happened to yield results that aren't too far off from results of a scientific poll asking essentially the same question, reported by Bill Schneider on Monday's Inside Politics:
Bush Administration: 47%
UN: 47%
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Schneider failed to comment that, when you exclude African-Americans, women, poor people, actuaries, Union members, bubble boys, people who still think that REO Speedwagon "totally rocks", hookers, people who actually work for a living, Hispanics, lesbians who used to work for Coors until their dad became the Vice President, albinos, and, well basically everyone who isn't a CEO of a oil company from the poll, a whopping 99%* support President Bush and war with Iraq. The guy who didn't support Bush is like gay or a communist or something.
Ashcroft is looking into it.
(*The bolding of 99% was made possible by a grant from the Micky Kaus Foundation)
