They're referring to the poll for the Obama/ Romney debate http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/10/04/1139750/-Punish-CNN-for-Bogus-Poll-Remove-Candy-Crowley-as-a-Moderator

1. Is there a reason to believe Candy Crowley will be biased?

I suspect she leans Republican based on her CNN reporting, but other than that do we have any reason to be concerned?

CNN's distorted poll isn't her area of jurisdiction as far as I know, either. It's the Polling Unit and people like Paul Steinhauser who probably fall into that category.

2. I think they want to punish CNN, not Crowley

"The thesis is that what CNN has done in seeking out a completely biased poll and then presenting in a way that most people will think that it is representative of the viewing population is so awful, so odious, and so antithetical to fair journalism that the network itself needs to be punished."

4. Good quote

I think I'm going to copy & paste that a few places.

3. I think Candy Crowley leans

towards wherever the nearest buffet table is. Her bias is the desserts.

5. And they don't even 'fact check' accurately, see YouTube: "CNN Fact Check Fail Helps Romney"

I emailed this video, along with the news of the VP and Denver debate distorted polls, to the Daily Show creators... I'm crossing my fingers that something will be done to bring this to justice. It is ridiculous.
