(43,223 posts)... we should assume that the poll results would be skewed, since there's no control over who participates in the poll. Just as many (if not more) conservative-leaning readers are going to vote it down as "fake news" only because of the name.
On the other hand left-leaning readers might be inclined to vote it up for the same reason. Their thinking would presumably be, "I'm a Democrat and I agree with liberals, so therefore Occupy Democrats must be a good thing."
In such a poll they vote on the name and on their own pre-conceived bias, nothing more. It's just like a lot of those fake book reviews on Amazon, every book gets 5 stars or 1 star, depending on the author's political views. Most of the reviewers have no intention of reading that book or any other.
