un-freep this poll

[AndyP]

I was trolling around in freeperland and found this poll http://msnbc.msn.com/id/4205947/ (sorry don't know how to make hyperlinks yet) It's fairly biased right now IMO. Go un-freep it

1. HA! That is too funny! I remember doing that poll (per a DU post)

Here is what the results of that poll now say:

Editor's Note: This week, the online version of the Newsweek poll received an unusually high rate of response, with the clear majority of participants casting uniform votes. For these reasons, we believe the poll is being intentionally manipulated. In addition, we received an e-mail alert suggesting that the campaign is being coordinated by at least one special-interest group. (Freerepublic link)


If you look at special interest link, and the first freeper response says "We have been requested by the White House to click on the following link and participate in the Newsweek Poll: Please do it as soon as possible. Please pass this on.

2. That's hilarious!

I've never seen that done before. Good on Newsweek!

3. Rush Pimple-Butt no doubt put out the word to vote on his show.

For his followers to do what he says and vote his way. Newsweek caught him at one of his sleazeball tricks.

I voted.

5. This was freeped before it was DUed

I remember finding this at FR and posting it here:

In the freeper post, they were saying things like, "The DU morons are already all over this one, obviously."

However, it was thoroughly freeped long before we got to it, meaning the general population had already been choosing DU-type answers before the freepers posted it.

Meaning the general population has had enough of this administration.

6. Whoa pally this poll needs a major overhaul...

looks like the common sense regulator is shot, and the thought inducer needs to be totally replaced. My estimate is $1500 for the whole job. This poll has been way too freeped! :evilgrin:
