They are "not taking calls" today because it is a holiday, you can either leave a voice mail or send an e-mail.

1. What shall we say?

:shrug: I've had a brain fart. :)

[Darby]

2. Other polls are markedly different -- why?

5. please see the other threads debunking NW and Time polls

Some DUers did good work on this! In one case, Rasmussen himself explained what was wrong with NW & Time methodology.

here's one of them:

8. Call them Monday morning and 'splain it to them

They changed their reporting but never retracted or explained the bad #s that they giggled over all weekend long.

In fact, Anderson Cooper described going from coverage of the Kerry Campaign to the Bush Campaign as going from a valley to a hill

jerk

9. for Monday morning

3. Disclose conflicts of interest in Time and Newsweek ownership

and why they might tend to be biased

4. Don't forget to tell them

that we have Judy Woodruff on TIVO, not knowing she was "on air" (Friday)...saying, "Are you sure we want to use this poll? It's incomplete. There's problems with it and we HAVE A MORE CURRENT POLL THAT HAS BUSH AND KERRY TIED," Bastards are WH shills.

6. Done

Left it on the voice line...:)

7. just sent them this...please copy and paste if you'd like

to whom it may concern.

hello, i'm emailing you to complain about your uncritical use of flawed polling information for the last two polls you reported on...judy woodruff herself was cuaght saying this in a moment when she thought she was not on the air:

"Are you sure we want to use this poll? It's incomplete. There's problems with it and we HAVE A MORE CURRENT POLL THAT HAS BUSH AND KERRY TIED,"

below you will see how the methodology of the polls have been disputed...this, and even with one of your talking heads doubting it, you still reported it as fact without any qualifiers.

i expect this from FOX news, but not CNN.

i'd like to know why this happened and what CNN is doing to make sure it doesn't happen in the future...the public knows whats going on here and i'm glad to call you on it.

please consider yourself on notice that the public senses a bias and i hold CNN to a higher standard, please say it isn't so.

regards.

By their own addmission Republicans and Ingependents were over represented:

Newsweek Poll: Post-Republican Convention, Princeton Survey Research

10. Also note that the new CNN.com 'headline'

"Poll indicates modest bounce for Bush"

is a far crty from the whroing headlines over the Holiday Weekend.

We're watching you, you ignorant pukes. Just so you know...

[ruggerson]

11. It should say "tiny" bounce for Bush

Might as well mention that while we're at it. Bush's "bounce" is the smallest bounce for an incumbent in the HISTORY of Gallup polling. So where do they get "modest" bounce?

12. add MSNBC to that list...they all are under orders right now
