The Right Wing used to pull a scam about the circulation figures

[KlatooBNikto]

whenever a new book by Ann Coulter or any of the other shills became public. They would inundate major bookstores with orders from Righwing foundations to give the impression that there is a run on the book.

I was wondering if they have a similar scam going about the viewership or listenership of Right Wing programs on TV or Radio?Specifically, are the figure for Rush, OReilly, Hannity etc, hyped?

1. I don't know what current figures are, but

Fox figures were often inflated because *over the course of the day* they had more individual viewers. In contrast had higher viewer retention.

2. The same goes with the opinion poll ratings.

Those numbes are ALWAYS inflated to make Bush look better than he really is.

3. I believe that nearly 70% of all people contacted by pollsters

refuse to be polled, and further many use cells as their primary phone - that's an ENORMOUS hit to accuracy of the average pollsters statistical sampling.
