GOP lies/$$ shape media's poll questions. What if Dems paid for a poll and gave corpmedia

a poll question that SHOULD be asked:

If it is found that Congressional Republicans conspired to construct a narrative about the deaths of a US ambassador and consulate workers in order to obstruct the White House and the governance of this nation during an ongoing national security and economic crisis, should those involved be called to testify under oath about their plot before they are removed from office?

Now why can't progressive organizations pay media to conduct poll questions like that the way Republicans do?

If you don't mind, I will use excerpts from your post in several letters to the editor of the various newspapers to which I subscribe.
