more misleading msnbc poll questions
Questions assume that Palin is a reformer and that Bush Doctrine is about spreading democracy and stopping terrorism.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26674315/
------

Did Sarah Palin sufficiently defend her ability to be commander in chief during her interview with Charlie Gibson?

a) Yes, as she said, reform of government and putting government back on the side of the people has much to do with foreign policy and national security issues and energy independence is a foundation of national security.

b) No, what does government reform have to do with being a commander in chief?


Should Sarah Palin have known what Charlie Gibson meant by the "Bush Doctrine?"

a) No, this was an example of Gibson trying to be the smartest person in the interview and play "gotcha" with Palin.

b) Yes, if she feels capable of being commander in chief, ***she should know the Bush Doctrine is to help spread democracy to stop terrorism *** and to act pre-emptively to stop potential foes.

1. Take Action: Email the head honchos and ask them what gives
steve.capus@nbc.com

phil.griffin@nbc.com



Below is the one I sent concerning David Gregory and the networks bias concerning the election. I sent this to Phil and Steve, not sure if it will be read or how effective it will be but at least I voiced my concerns as a viewer.

___________________________________________________________________

Dear Phil,

As a viewer of MSNBC, your decision to keep Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews from covering the post debates and election coverage has left me no choice but to seek my coverage elsewhere. The decision was suppose to be because Olbermann is "controversial" at least he doesn't hide it like Tom Brokaw, Brian Williams (big Rush Limbaugh fan), David Gregory (Karl Rove's Go-Go dancer), and of course the late Tim Russert (voted for Bush, and admitted Jack Welch turned him into a republican).

While Olbermann may be an outspoken person, he shares my political views. David Gregory is a talking head for the RNC. I do not watch his Race to the White House program, because of his right wing connections and the talking points they give him.

I also must file a complaint about Gregory's coverage on his show today. It was brought to my attention that he spent a large portion of his show reaping praises on Palin and McCain sons serving in Iraq, however, he did not mention Joe Biden's son, Beau who is also serving our country in Iraq.

I do applaud your decision on giving Rachel Maddow her own show. She will provide the balance your cable network needs.

I will not watch MSNBC with the exception of Countdown with Keith Olbermann, and the Rachel Maddow Show.


Best Regards,

3. They shouldn't even have any explanations...
simple "yes" or "no" responses would be sufficient

4. I do not disagree
Some of these polls are seriously twisted. Heads you lose, Tails I win style.

5. You are correct......as the questions forces one to aknowledge
myths perpetuated by the McCain Campaign.

I will be writing shortly.
