New Poll shows McCain ahead of Obama - NPR

[mikeytherat]

Sorry, can't provide any additional info. I heard this at 6:00 this morning, and the NPR crew did not provide any further explanation before I headed to the shower. A search on NPR's website also has no information about this "story." Did anyone else hear this?

2. Well on their US electoral map they have McCain ahead by 27.

But they have had McCain ahead since they put up their map so I don't pay any attention to it.

Affecting public opinion by distributing inaccurate polls and information is a well established propaganda tool, even NPR is not immune to it.

Here is a more accurate graph to follow because it includes all candidates on the ballot even Bob Barr.

5. NPR was covering the McCain campaign all last week.

Every morning after the first 15 minutes of headline stories they would go right into their McCain coverage. I wouldn't give them any more credence than FOX.

6. The average of all the polls has Obama up 46%-42%

7. wait until next week when the numbers come in for Obama

after his trip to Europe and the Middle East.

Our media is just filthy, and they act like spoiled children.
