CNN/Gallup/Diebold/ES&S: Watch them closely.
Edited on Sun Aug-01-04 11:37 AM by TruthIsAll
Gallup and Fox will try to keep Bush close.

Diebold will confirm their polls on Nov.2.

And Zogby will be maligned as an Arab Democratic pollster who never gets it right.

1. No complacency!
Close is good. It makes people feel their votes are needed.

3. Close maybe good but
To steal an election you need to make it appear close so there is less questions when it "goes" to Bush.

2. CNN = Lying Whores
Republican Shills. Not Journalists. It is truly shameful and we should not tolerate it any more. I am disgusted and do not believe these poll numbers are even remotely accurate.

5. I agree and it is a horrifying revelation.
We are absolutely in a media era equivalent to Soviet style Pravda. We still have the Internet and Air America, but will that be enough to halt the fascist take-over???

6. I am beside myself
I cannot believe it has gotten this blatantly bad. We do need to take it seriously. How do you force journalists to adhere to ethics. It was once important.

9. My brief venture into CNN is over, again.
I thought I would watch Kerry and Edwards, but as usual the fascist pigs turned it into a pro-* commercial.

I think doing what we're doing on the Internet through dissemination of information and fund raising is the only way to save this situation. Writing CNN.coN letters helps relieve our psychological pressure, but I doubt they do anything except laugh at us. These whores are even WORSE than they were in 2000. I believe its because they know, and fear, the numbers and power behind Democrats now.

4. Did you hear Wolf Biltzer??...
Oh holy creeping cripes & Christ!!! He made a point of saying that the Newsweek poll was done before the end of the convention and flat out said it was NOT accurate.

On the other hand, however, he said the CNN/Gallup poll was done AFTER (and says "I repeat, AFTER") the DNC and shows absolutely no bump whatsoever... implying that the Newsweek poll was inaccurate, whereas theirs was completely accurate and authentic.

Blitzer... you SCREAMING media whore! I really hope you get what you deserve some day... Oh Karma, come sooner than later!!! :grr::argh:

8. He made a point of telling Kerry
that CNN would be coming out with a "more sophisticated" poll. Thereby setting the trap and laying the groundwork to release their skewed numbers. If I see Wolf Blitzer or Bill Schneider on TV I am turning it. These people have no ethics, they have no soul and they are indeed the worst kind of whores.

7. Ding Ding Ding
And he wins the prize. So what do we do about it. Would an organized e-mail campaign accusing them of stealing our democracy help?
