We need to demand that poll reporting be honest !
I am tired of hearing these polls quoted and reported and then finding out later that the mix was heavily weighted toward one party.

On MTP last week Timmy was a perfect example. He quoted the latest poll numbers but neglected to report that 1/4 as many repugs were polled as dems.

This is the way the media is screwing with the heads of the populace to push the election toward GWB.

I think we should e-mail them every time we see or hear this and call them out on it.

1. Good point. I wonder if they read posts here
I'll bet some of them do, or at least some of the staffers. That could get the word out.

2. Phoney Polls
Had a thought, I wonder if the purpose of the phoney polls is really an attempt to present future "evidence" to contest the election if JK actually wins by a wide margin?
