CNN's poll re Clarke & Condi...who do you believe?

[glarius]

CNN just showed a poll taken overnight that showed that more people believe Condi than Clarke. The public doesn't know that THERE ARE SEVERAL WITNESSES in the White House who verify what Clarke says....Why is this never mentioned, anywhere? On 60 Minutes, where Clarke first made his charges, CBS said they had verified Clarke was telling the truth with other witnesses in the White House....This point is being ignored by the media....They are making it into a strictly "he said - she said" type of situation....Disgusting! :puke:
Old "monotone" Wolf is doing his usual job of trying to make the administration look good!

1. From their other poll, it seems that Repugs still want to grasp

at the air to hold their belief that their pResident is not a criminal.

2. public always believs last person they heard

Americans have a VERY short attention span. Polls always reflect in favor of the last person to speak. Same way Kerry will pick up in polls after Democratic convention and Bush will pick up after pub convention. Watch mainstream news for a few days and see how many brain cells you have left.

4. That's true but my point is the media is INFLUENCING the decisions of

the public by NOT telling about the witnesses to Clarke!

3. Spin, spin, spin

Here is the poll story from their web site:
http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/04/09/rice.poll/index.html

Here is the Clarke V Rice part:
Rice won the credibility race against former counterterrorism aide Richard Clarke -- who testified that the White House had ignored warnings about Osama bin Laden's terrorist organization. Forty-three percent of the poll's participants said they were more likely to believe Rice, as opposed to 36 percent naming Clarke.

Still, 21 percent weren't sure, and it was the 72 percent of Republican respondents who put Rice over the top.

So 7% in an overnight poll due to Repugs. This means nothing. As people start looking at her statements and reading more about it, her number will drop.

Here is another interesting part of the poll.

Thursday's poll, however, gave a resounding "no" -- 60 percent -- to the question of whether the administration had an al Qaeda strategy before the events of September 11, 2001.

6. CNN Bias

CNN has been very biased for a very long time. That's why we need to keep calling them on it. Problem is, I can't stand to watch. When I do watch I see many examples of bias, and I have e-mailed them several times. Remember, the Horse (Media Whores on Line) wants us to contact the media about their bias while he is "out to pasture". I try to do my bit. The latest example was that ridiculous CNN/Gallup poll that showed Bush ahead. These results were at odds with every other national poll taken at the same time, yet CNN kept pushing it every few minutes as an example that Richard Clarke's charges weren't sticking. Let's see how this polll released today compares to other polls.

7. This from the same people who gave dum-dum a 24 pt. lead in FL

just a few weeks ago over Kerry....there is no way that DD had a lead that big in FL where many are still pissed about '00 election. CNN polls are skewed toward the repubs.

PS: If you are wondering what DD is, that is my abbreviation for dum-dum which is what I call that thing usurping the WH.

8. CNN IS WORSE THAT FAUX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Faux's polls don't show Bushler with this kind of lead.
