Polls

The so-called MAINSTREAM MEDIA seek to make a lot of news from polls they or somebody else conduct. Why is it that we never get to see the questions that are asked? The subjective nature of questions certainly can sway the answers.

It seems to me we should not pay attention to, much less trust, any of these polls unless the questions are fully disclosed. Yet the lovely MAINSTREAM MEDIA pounce on polls offered almost as breaking news. We also never know whether the poll is NOT REPORTED if the media source doesn’t like the results.

Dan Rather thinks there is no liberal bias in the news media. Dan Rather himself is part of the problem. The media has a bias. It is left wing. Dan Rather is a typical left-winger. The reader may not agree, but it always seemed, during his newscaster years at CBS, that he enjoyed providing poll information allegedly harmful to the conservative side. He says he is not reporting with a bias. Although his anchoring days are past, in speeches and other commentary, he speaks with a bias. And he knows it. Surely he does, doesn’t he?

Dan Rather and the MAINSTREAM MEDIA love polls when they warp to the left.

Polls should be accurate. Polls should avoid any biases. Polls should tell us the truth. The subject may come up again on thishere blog because we also must question the method of selecting the people who are polled. Ever watch Jay Leno doing a MAN ON THE STREET, or Sean Hannity on the radio. One might think the American public as a generality are…. dumb. Let’s just say they perhaps are less than INFORMED sufficiently to ANSWER a poll and polling questions.

A U. S. President recently authorized a poll to tell him where to take his next vacation. This craziness is self-explanatory.

Thank God we have a President today who does NOT make his decisions on what the polls say.
