CNN just got totally busted pushing old poll numbers.
Tuesday, October 19, 2004

Hacktackular CNN

CNN just got totally busted pushing old poll numbers. They had a local reporter from Ohio on and they threw up the results of a Columbus Dispatch poll from October 4, which showed Bush over Kerry 51-44, and asked if "that's what you're is seeing now."

The guy gently said something like "Uh, no, that poll is several weeks old, the numbers have tightened considerably since then..."

The CNN anchor quickly brushed it off, "oh, uh, thanks for bringing that to our attention."

1. CNN = repuke shit
Liars liars, perverts the lot of them!

Do they know of no other way but to live by the lie?

He who lives by the lie is doomed by it.

5. Saw a poll on C-SPAN this morning that had Kerry ahead by 1 point
in Ohio. CNN can take their polls and SHOVE THEM where the sun doesn't shine. :grr: Wanna bet that CNN continues to push that old Ohio poll even after learning it's obsolete?
