CNN's Latest Poll - 48% Agree - The NY Times act appropriately in rejecting McCain's op-ed piece?
CNN ^

So, 48% have voted that the New York Times act appropriately in rejecting Sen. John McCain's op-ed piece? Amazing. If the "dems" get the White House, for sure silencing the right's voice is top of the list.

It is really BAD for the NY Times if 52% side with McCain in a CNN online poll. That probably translates into about 70% of the public sides with McCain.

Put little value into online polls it is so easy to slam them. Probably 2 little KOS kiddies running vote bots.

So 52% feel the NYT acted inappropriately by not publishing the column.

Is this one of those call-in, e-mail in polls that they broadcast from time to time. If it is, it’s totally worthless.

It’s on thier site, they always have a poll on thier home page, here’s an example:

Did John McCain shoot babies in Vietnam?

1) Yes
2) Unsure

I’d be willing to bet that most of the morons who were questioned and who answered that the Slimes acted appropriately are the same people that Sean Hannity interviews on his “Man on the Street” Thursday sessions.

A bunch of dumb sh**t losers who are knee-jerk liberals but who know nothing of history or politics.

Democrat version of free speech = I’m allowed to spew whatever biased anti-america hate I want 24/7, but your only allowed to say something as long as I don’t disagree with it or it doesn’t hurt my feelings.

Considering that CNN always preloads internet polls to what they project is the outcome (they claimed it was to offset poll spamming), and it is below 50%, I wonder what the un-preloaded numbers are to move disagree above 50%?

#2 should be changed to “probably”, then it would be more accurate.

Hey, I’d probably say they acted appropriately too. It’s their paper and they can run what they want to. I don’t want to see any private sector media be forced to run anything they don’t want to for whatever reason. So what...it clearly shows the NY Times is in the tank for Obama. Not only is that their choice but it presents a clear demonstration for even the dumbest of metrosexuals.

Correct!

If the NYT's position the can't even get a majority in a CNN or MSNBC poll, it's bound to be unpopular in an unbiased survey.

There was a CNN online poll yesterday showing 48% preferred McCain's position on the Iraq war. It's pretty pathetic for Obama if he can't win a CNN poll with a 2:1 or 3:1 margin.

Oh hell, like everybody doesn’t know that all of CNNs polls are all rigged for the Left.

Their polls are absolutely worthless, unless you want to know what the Leftie “stuffers” want you to think.
