Well...there is the Rudi Bahktiar exception.

I was just watching the beginning of "Wolf Blitzer Reports," and he talked about how President Bush had reopened a lead on Senator Kerry. But rather then report CNN's OWN poll, they averaged together the five "major" national polls to find the "true" lead... which was displayed as only 5 points. (CNN's poll showed an 8 point lead for the President)
So they won't even use their OWN poll to show what's really going on in the race? Sickening. The average, for inquiring minds, was of CNN/USA Today/GALLUP, WaPo/ABC, IBD/TIPP, Newsweek, and Time.
Communist News Network. They are completely biased to the left. Some of the things that come over the air there amaze me also.
The MSM has been calling this a dead heat, for the most part. I'm surprised CNN isn't flogging that bit of Democratic wishful thinking.
which was displayed as only 5 points. (CNN's poll showed an 8 point lead for the President)
Getting them to say that Bush is ahead by 5 points is good news! I'll take it...
averaging polls is statistically ridiculous .. nice try CNN
Since Bernie Shaw isn't around to break down in tears on election night, it isn't worth watching CNN at all anymore.
I'll take it!! I'm sure Olbermann will be citing Zogby tonight...
My concern though is that by the middle of the week Wolf will be finding the most pro-kerry poll, citing it and claiming Kerry has momentum... As long as he continues to cite the average of the polls I don't think we can complain... To be honest, 8 points is probably a little too high... Among RV in Gallup it was only 3, so Wolf reporting it as 5 overall is good news for us!!
It doesn't amaze me at all. They have been doing it for far too long. Why their ratings have slipped. Why most of the MSM newspapers and networks have slipped.
And don't forget that Wolf Blitzer looks exactly like a muppet.
Well...there is the Rudi Bahktiar exception.
I am baffled--when I got to liberal websites I see "Wolf is biased". When I go to conservative websites I see the same. I think everyone should just take deep breaths and quit trying to read intentions into every dang thing.
No surprise, There just like the rest of the Far Left LIBERAL Media, the only one I watch is Fox News.
WOW!
Or at least trying to!
Too bad their ship is sinking and there are no lifeboats left.
Not even to see Carville put a trash can on his head?
That's your 1st mistake, going to a liberal website. But I just claimed he's the spittin' image of a muppet. Not all muppets are left wingers, I think the Count and the two old Geezers in the balcony lean right.
Only if he guaranteed he was going to do it, and maybe not even then. I saw it live once before, and it won't have the same jaw-hitting-the-floor-followed-by-hysterical-mocking-laughter effect on me. I actually thought it was a pretty admirable thing to do; he showed some objectivity, which I would have bet almost anything wasn't present in any more than trace elements in his snakey carcass.
