No, it's a legitimate critique

[Avalux]

1. WTF!!!!!

OK - I just voted, and when the results came up, it was 100% yes and 0% no! WTF is going on?????

[ceile]

4. me too n/t

[Speed8098]

226. It didn't record mine either

:kick:

[datadiva]

6. It was the same for me. n/t

[Mandate My Ass]

7. ditto

what a crock!

[Totally Committed]

Me, too...

I smell a set-up!

Why am I surprised?

TC

[Demobrat]

8. Same here.

Voted no, but the results are 100% yes.

[Nimrod2005]

10. It is already at 100% for the evil do'ers? Diebold!!!

[MikeNY]

211. Haha..

Yes, this is also how CNN tallies the raw voting data on election night, apparently.

[Union Thug]

16. same result for me...100% yes, 0% no

Yeah, you can trust this one.

I suspect it's been heavily freeped. You can vote over and over and over. It would only take a couple of people to skew it heavily one way or another.

[Mandate My Ass]

22. Freeped is one thing. But NONE of the "no" votes register

This is something else entirely.

[Union Thug]

35. yeah, it's pretty suspicious....

I wonder if it's possible to write a script that will continue to vote, refresh and vote on this kind of poll. I mean, if you have 10,000 instant votes in the yes category, a few DU hits isn't going to change the percentages, depending on how they're rounding the numbers..

I don't know.... Weird stuff

[mom cat]

123. My "no" vote did not register!

[wisteria]

54. I have never seen a poll at 100% one way before. Obviously something

is wrong.

[Pachamama]

136. EVERYONE EMAIL THEIR WEBMASTER HERE:

http://www.cnn.com/feedback/forms/form8.html?1

You can tell them that the Quickvote for the video from the DCCC using coffins is not working...

[AntiFascist]

158. Must be time for a major war to start....

and of course CNN ratings go through the roof when that happens. CNN wants you to support the flag draped coffins.

[chill_wind]

68. CLASSIC! We ought to send it to msnbc K.O. to have fun with.

Seriously, the script isn't even showing me the number of yes/no vote totals. Is that usual, or mightn't the script just be broken? CNN needs to told to fix it or take it down right now and throw the whole thing out.

[Critters2]

87. We should! Keith could have fun with this!

[Guaranteed]

128. "Keep in mind, this is not a scientific poll." nt

CNN and PsyOps
www.counterpunch.org/cnnpsyops.html

and Wolf Blitzer's 700 Club resume

www.yuricareport.com/Media/OnPatRobertsonWolfeBlitzerAndDavidCorn.html

""Yep! Wolf used to work for Pat Robertson's CBN way back when Pat was setting up his news bureau and Wolf was the 700 Club’s reporter from the Middle East. He was a lot younger in those days, but in those beginning days Pat exposed Wolf Blitzer to a viewing audience that topped the Nielsen ratings at 28.7 million monthly viewers! That’s a great way to launch one’s career. But Wolf Blitzer likes to keep that part of his career kind of quiet. He doesn’t list the 700 Club’s news bureau in his biography. He doesn’t tell CNN’s audience that Pat was like an angel to him when he was just an independent reporter starting out. But those of us who watched Pat’s show could never forget Wolf Blitzer’s reports. He was presented to us as such an expert—we were just so proud of him! And look how high he’s gone. You’d think he’d give Pat a little credit. No doubt he says “Thanks” by inviting him on CNN!""

[holboz]

147. me too! WTF??? OK - CNN = Fox. Never shall i turn it on again.

This was at 6:30pm CST

[Cosmocat]

172. Add another non counted no ... (nm)

f

[arcane1]

188. same here

Is Diebold counting the CNN poll votes now??

[Kire]

198. 9 hours later

And it still says 100% yes.

Was it stuck at 576 votes at 4:29 when you posted this? If you're reading this in the morning, does it still read 576 votes?

[laheina]

215. It seems to be accepting additional "yes" votes

The tally is at 610 at 1:34 AM; however, the poll still isn't accepting no votes--mine included.

[VolcanoJen]

216. Twelve hours later, and still, it won't register my vote

This is unfuckingbelievable.

[Jack Rabbit]

270. That happened to me, too

Has CNN contracted out to Diebold to do the response counts?

[City Lights]

2. Voted no but yes is at 100%.

:wtf:

[htuttle]

3. Same here

[City Lights]

5. Diebold must be counting...

12. OH That Is SOOOOOOOO Depressing!

This thing needs more help than I think we can muster!! 100% saying YES, they are offensive!

Get busy!

[TAPat]

13. Done - but check it out...

Yes, it dishonors our troops 100%
No, it's a legitimate critique 0%

Can you guess which way I voted? Guess my vote doesn't count AGAIN! :grr:

Something Strange Here... n/t

[mirandapriestly]

264. So Diebold must do CNN polls too

[Gabi Hayes]

14. I wonder...did they do a poll axing if the Swiftboat add was offensive?

or TRUE?

just curious

[peaches2003]

23. Mine, too.

[deaniac21]

88. Axing what?

[Kire]

199. I think he meant hacking

As in hacking off a limb

:rofl:

[ComerPerro]

92. Or asking if it was offensive of Republicans to exploit 9/11

including using victims and images of coffins

[benevolent dictator]

15. 100% yes. what gives?

[DistressedAmerican]

17. Done. Bad Start Though.

Yes, it dishonors our troops 100%
No, it's a legitimate critique 0%

[titoresque]

18. done

no #'s yet for No. Only say's Yes 100%
Fucking freepers! Ignorant AND relentless!

[gatorboy]

19. I thought they normally post total votes for these things.

But in O'Reilly poll fashion the post number seems to be hidden...

[derby378]

20. Either it's been hacked or it's a stunt

Don't trust it.

[in_cog_ni_to]

[IChing]

28. Mathematically impossible to be 100 %

think about it......vote though

[SeattleGirl]

34. I just voted and it STILL shows 100% saying the ad is inappropriate.

Yep, it has to be fixed.

[helderheid]

33. Get this on the greatest page - 100% yes??!?!?!? I voted NO!

[malaise]

38. Same here n/t

[MorningGlow]

36. Stand down, y'all

I used to do Web polls on a news site (local, but still)--it's not a plot. Their code is screwed up. Now, if they actually FIX it...that's what I want to see.

[helderheid]

39. if they fix it will we have to vote again?

[MorningGlow]

Probably.

If it's screwed up, it's not recording the votes. So yeah, I'd try again in a bit. Of course, once they tweak to it being broken, my money's on them just putting up a different poll entirely. Hope I'm wrong, though.

[skids]

148. Probably just a code typo but...

That doesn't mean we shouldn't lay into them on every blog for being so pathetic as to Diebold a crummy online poll.

It might teach them to make such errors in the future.

[burythehatchet]

58. And with the 100's of polls I've voted in

this has never happened. Just one of those things I guess :shrug:

[Pachamama]

134. Convenient, n'est pas?

:shrug: They can then point to the fact that the DCCC is ourageous and wrong and that 100% of Americans dissapprove....

[MichiganVote]

37. Voted no, did not register and prolly won't. What's new?

[unhappycamper]

40. Same results.

Looks like the vote counters are winning.

72. My email to the link...

I am somewhat disturbed by your poll concerning the DCCC video. Although I assume there is some glitch in the code, I do not care for the impression it makes in that it is registering 100% Yes. Might CNN's biases be showing?


Thanks for the link helderheid!

[me b zola]

45. Just voted

It has not tabulated yet, which is not unusual. What is unusual is the poll beginning 100% mark for one of the answers, I have never seen that.

We need to watch this poll, contact cnn and Media Matters

[Homer Wells]

46. This seems to be a bogus poll!!!!!

I know I am not the only one voting that this is a legitimate critique.
Looks like Diebold is supplying CNN with its vote tallying equipment. They are still showing 100% YES, and that is Bullshit!!!!!:banghead:

[MazeRat7]

47. still 100%... I think its broke... clear you cookie and try again...

[Greyhound]

48. Still 100% yes. I guess our votes don't count. n/t

I voted no and it still said 100% yes.

[ChickMagic]

102. Same thing happened to me

100% vs. 0%

On the same page, there was this bit:

House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Illinois) was hospitalized Thursday for a skin infection that is expected to keep him off his feet for a few days. Doctors are treating Hastert for cellulitis, a bacterial infection that first appeared on his lower left leg a few days ago. If left untreated, it can spread quickly and be life threatening, according to the Mayo Clinic's website. But Hastert is expected to be back to work next week.


Why don't they just leave science out of it and pray for his recovery. Please?

103. Practice for November, perhaps? n/t

[CoffeeCat]

104. I voted NO...still at 100% yes...

...this is really strange.

Obviously, someone has hacked into CNN.

I hope to God this isn't the reason that the spineless jellyfish Dems pulled their ad.

I mean, come on--they knew the ramifications of showing the coffins. Propagandists allege that it's unAmerican and a dishonor to the soldiers.
Excuse me, but hiding our soldiers is unAmerican and dishonorable.

Why do we constantly allow the Republicans to define reality? Why??? WHY????

The Republicans must get in a room and snicker like weasels when we kow tow to their every whim.

Another example of the Democrats handing over their lunch money to the big bad Republicans. The Reps don't even need to
ask for it any more. The Dems just hang their heads, hand it over and apologize for not getting it to them sooner.

Sucks.

[conflictgirl]

130. Something really weird is going on here

Obviously the video in question isn't there. Maybe they've taken it down already. But it's still not registering any "no" votes at all. I can't find any evidence that the CNN site has been spoofed, though it has possibly been hacked. And we'll say nothing of how biased and "leading" the questions are in the poll itself.

But look at this from the article:

In South Carolina, Spratt is also coming under fire from his GOP opponent, state Rep. Ralph Norman. Bush received 57 percent of the vote in Spratt's Rock Hill based-district in 2004 compared to Kerry's 42 percent. Spratt sailed to re-election that same year with 63 percent of the vote, but he is expected to face a tougher challenge from Norman.

So let's look at that more closely, shall we? They mean to tell us that in this particularly district, 63 percent of the voters voted for the Democratic representative, but only 42 percent of them voted for the Dem presidential candidate? How normal is it for there to be a 21 percent discrepancy in which party people vote for in the local representative and in the presidential election?

[yorkiemommie1]

131. still stuck

they must be practicing for November.

WTF?

[RagAss]

159. They're practicing for November.....

[Jeffersons Ghost]

160. LOL, I guess CNN just showed America a thing or two...

or three or four or five... it's still at %100!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

161. Yes, they should set up their polls on e-voting controversies the same way

That'd open up a few eyes perhaps.

[Cha]

162. WTF's goin' on?!

It's now 8:45pm and it's still %100 freeped or cnned!

[chiffon]

163. Whoa aa! Now that's some weird cyber stuff, isn't it?

I just tried to vote mind you, before I read the other posts, and (mark the time) it displayed my vote; "NO", and the poll still at 100% "Yes".

:freak:

[bridgit]

165. it's a ruse, it's been saying '100% dishonor' for 45min...

it's phony :thumbsdown:

[BrightKnight]

167. done but broken

[Chipper Chat]

168. 9:40pm - I voted - still fubar.

"CNNewspeak" has arrived. The clocks have struck 13.

[Benhurst]

169. It's still ...

Yes, it dishonors our troops 100% 512 votes
No, it's a legitimate critique 0% 0 votes
Total: 512 votes

[doc03]

170. 940pm voted no didn't count it 512 yes 0 no

[Kire]

201. 1:30 am, 576 yes, 0 no

This is disturbing

[Catchawave]

173. 10:26pm still 100% Yes

[helderheid]

174. THEY ARE COUNTING NOW - CHECK OUT NEW SCREEN SHOT

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x1637480

[B Calm]

175. I just voted no! Now it's at 526 yes 0 no..

[Literate Tar Heel]

178. hmm, another no vote from me

and it's 531-0 ... I guess Diebold has a new client

[blonndee]

177. Just voted no, still 100% yes, with 531 votes.

[Gold Metal Flake]

179. Still at zero votes despite all of our votes.

I guess they got Diebold to do their polls now.

[dobegrrrl]

181. un fing believable

:mad:

[tandot]

182. I voted "no" ... still 100% yes ... I guess a freeper designed the poll

and programmed it not to count any "no" votes...right-wing fascists just can't deal with reality

[Lorien]

184. Voted and still at 100%

does CNN use Diebold?

[ProgressivePatriot]

183. My vote didn't count....but the Dems pulled the video...

the yellow bastards gave into the scum.

[jdadd]

186. Grrrrrrr.....

Still 100% Yes....:banghead:

[AndrewJacksonFaction]

187. Still NO, 'NO' registering.

[nguoihue]

189. "No" votes not counted

Poll is fixed. Preview of coming attractions.

[kittykitty]

190. 11:30 PM - still NO "no" votes!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

191. Yup, still not registering our votes.

[IowaGuy]

192. 10:45 pm Midwestern Time...still not registering.....n/t

[Digit]

193. No votes STILL not being counted!

[mikelgb]

194. It is officially tomorrow EST! and STILL!?

shameful

[Jamastiene]

196. Still rigged as of 1:00 am

Crying shame they are so transparent as to rig it at 100%. They are not even trying any more to hide the blatant spin.

[Jamastiene]

207. CNN has electile dysfunction. n/t

[donheld]

197. It counts votes like Florida

:banghead:

[Red Right and BLUE]

200. I too just voted NO and it did not register!!

WTF!

[Red Right and BLUE]

202. screen shot

[kevinbgoode]

203. This is outrageous...it does not register any NO votes

has someone contacted CNN and asked WTF?????

[Roxy66]

204. Still no No votes!!

[texpatriot2004]

205. 585 yes votes? What gives? DU it ya'll nm

[Julius Civitatus]

208. CNN is committing FRAUD with partisan intentions here, people

This is FRAUD. They'll fix it too late, after every right-wing pundit has quoted this fraudulent poll as a "100%" of people against the ad.

[NMMNG]

209. This is BS! None of the "NO" votes are registering!

:grr:

Yes, it dishonors our troops 100% 590 votes
No, it's a legitimate critique 0% 0 votes
Total: 590 votes

[Selatius]

214. The damn poll is either rigged or busted!

[VolcanoJen]

217. 4:39 am, 610 votes, still 100%

:wtf:

[Hekate]

219. ?? I just voted No and the "result" was 0% votes No and 100% votes yes ??

What happened?

Hekate

[Hekate]

222. I told them it must have been a job for Diebold. Here's the link

Go here to comment: http://www.cnn.com/feedback/dotcom/

They might as well hear from us about this nonsense!

Hekate

[Warren DeMontague]

220. They've had plenty of time to fix it. This is is CNN saying "Fuck You".

Loud and Clear.

[VolcanoJen]

221. That's pretty much the way I read it.

Unbelievable.

[TAPat]

229. No kidding!

I just rolled out of bed and it was the first thing I checked - WTF with theese people?! So they've "fixed" it so that it's registering 610 votes for yes and 0 for no... Arrgh! :grr:

[formercia]

223. 610 to 0

what bullshit.

Just goes to show how bogus CNN is.

Time to get rid of cable...

[JNelson6563]

224. the fix is in

what a surprise.

[rman]

225. at least it's so obvious that there's no denying it

[stillrockin]

227. I'll tell you what's OFFENSIVE:

rigged polls by CNN.

:mad:

[mwb970]

228. I voted NO but it is still 610-0 YES.

This was as big a waste of time as voting for a Democrat in a fascist American "election".

[The Count]

230. It's not a poll, it's a GOP billboard shaped like a poll. So lying is a

given.

[Octafish]

231. Thing must be powered by DIEBOLD.

It keeps giving 100-percent of the vote to the warmongers.

[cascadiance]

232. They must have just hired Mikel Haas to run their polls!

Looks similarly f'd! Always conveniently these things favor the "wrong side".

[City Lights]

233. CNN is dead to me.

After all the emails we sent, it's still rigged. Screw them.

:nuke:

[go west young man]

236. They're as reliable with this as they are with so called news!

Sad sacks. Still at 100% after all this time.

[doc03]

234. 9:58 am 7-15 just voted again (no)

Results are now 610 yes 0 no. I was able to vote a second time, I have never been able to vote more than one time on any of their polls. Still 0 no votes. Their polls usally have 10's of thousands of votes so I would guess the vote is more like 610 yes and 20000 no.

[il_lilac]

235. 100% yes still

Then where did my vote go?

[dmr]

237. The poll still isn't working

Wonder what the problem is.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

238. It didn't record my vote! eom

[blogslut]

239. Okay, something is up

It just doesn't make sense. I'm betting they use the same script for that poll that they do for every other freaking poll on the CNN website. After almost 24 hours, it get's 600-odd votes and all of them for yes?

I know that there have been numerous emails sent concerning that poll and I know that many here have voted No. Either the CNN webmasters are on vacation or somebody's deliberately messing with it.

It's also possible somebody left out character in the code - which is pretty common. Regardless, they should have fixed it by now.

[prairierose]

240. "no" vote did not register.....

why bother with cnn at all?

[burythehatchet]

241. It's Saturday morning now

It seems to me that for a well financed web site like CNN, the task of fixing this poll should take no more than 30 minutes, once they become aware of the issue. I know that many of us have made CNN aware of the issue.

Can you all just join me in Atlanta and we can march on CNN headquarters and shut that whorehouse down?

[spanone]

242. If they can't fix it, they should pull it down.

[Pacifist Patriot]

244. Which would take no more than 3 minutes.

[Pacifist Patriot]

243. Exactly how long does it take to fix the code?

It's still totally screwed up after how many hours?

[I Have A Dream]

245. Still 100% to 0%. 711 votes - all going to the dishonors side.

This is f**ked up!

:grr:

[Pachamama]

253. Now its showing 734 votes all at 100% yes - And I just voted NO!

I emailed CNN yesterday and clearly, they did not fix it. I highly suggest that we all still bombard them with emails to fix this.

Meanwhile, it makes one wonder really if these online polls are believable?

[kittenpants]

246. What 0%? This kind of thing couldn't happen in America!?

Mexico and Ukraine, sure, but not in Amurika! :sarcasm:

[yurbud]

247. it didn't count my no vote! a diebold poll

[debbierlus]

248. Blogged on myspace page.

This is NOT acceptable. Now, they are faking internet polls? They are so FUCKING desperate, it is unreal.

[Extend a Hand]

249. it didn't count my vote either.

[grannylib]

250. Obviously FUBAR, no "no" votes registering. Must be counted by

Diebold.

[frogmarch]

251. email Keith?

My vote didn't count either. Maybe we should all let Keith Olbermann know about this fraud. (Sorry if someone else has already suggested it.)

edited to add: It would great to see CNN named as "Worst Person in the World." :)

[El Fuego]

257. And Anderson Cooper... It's his network.

[TAPat]

252. Now it's up to

Yes, it dishonors our troops 100% 734 votes
No, it's a legitimate critique 0% 0 votes
Total: 734 votes

OMFG!

[ourbluenation]

254. still not showing no's

[Janice325]

255. I just now "tried" to vote.

I voted no, and the results were 737-yes
0-no
Go figure.
Things that make you go "hmmmmmmm."
Fricking hacked vote.
k&r
Maybe someone's just practicing for the upcoming elections. :sarcasm:

[nuxvomica]

256. I sent them an e-mail telling them to fix it

Or get out of the news business cuz not even Fox does this sort of thing. We should all be e-mailing them. The e-mail did get sent, BTW.

[The Count]

258. Linking the thread for e-mailing CNN:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x1636992

[guinivere]

259. Hey, WTF! It did not register my vote at all.

:wtf:

[wildbilln864]

261. You know what?

I went there and voted no, it's a legit critique. And yet after I click vote, the results don't show my vote. They show 0 votes for my side and 745 for yes it's dishonoring our troops. Anyone else have similar results?

on edit:
Ok, I know I should have read the thread, but I just saw the title and went to the CNN site to vote. Now I see everyone else having the same problem yet the poll is still up and in error.

CNN the most distrusted name in news!

[mirandapriestly]

262. Same thing here.

I think we now can see what we are up against.

[Shredr]

263. Saturday morning at 10 Pacific Time, still 100% NT

[Up2Late]

265. Still 100% Yes, even after I voted No. It's America's Declining Democrocy

...I guess.

Is the DCCC "America Needs a New Direction" video offensive?
Yes, it dishonors our troops


100%

752 votes
No, it's a legitimate critique


0%

0 votes
Total: 752 votes :grr:

[formercia]

273. All the freeps could get was 752 votes?

Those polls usually get around 80K hits, so judging on past performance.......

[guinivere]

266. They have finally taken the "poll" away as of 12:30 cst. nt

[timontheleft]

267. My vote wasn't counted either, but . . .

I went back to the page, and I can't find the poll anymore. Did they finally pull it? I can't even find the link in their page of "Quick Vote" polls.

[gully]

271. It appears to be gone now.

eom

[nuxvomica]

272. I got a response back from CNN saying the poll was pulled

Here's the text of it:

Dear Morning Grind and CNN.com Readers,

[TAPat]

277. I hope you made that up! It just can't be true...

"Your messages have been forwarded to our crack team of web technicians,"

That "Crack Team" must be on crack, eh? :freak: :freak: :freak:

[nuxvomica]

278. It's twue! it's twue!

I'm not clever enough to make up something that funny. :rofl:

[TAPat]

279. It's twue-finess then!

:rofl:

[TAPat]

268. I'm not seeing it anymore either.... nt

[jean]

269. Cafferty might talk about this if he was inundated with email.

[guruoo]

275. What poll?

I don't see any poll on that page
http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/07/14/mg.fri

[Kire]

280. They took it down

It was broke

[stepnw1f]

281. They are Lucky

I was just about to shoot off an email to Mediamatters.
