"...A special note to blogger friends: calm it down. Lay off the cable television noise and look at your baseball cards in your spare time. It is better for your (and everyone else's) health."

No charlatan likes to be exposed...C-Span should be ashamed to sponsor him...

1. I don't think C-Span has much of a budget
and Zogby probably came cheap.

3. I doubt both those claims.
C-Span is funded by wealthy corporations and I doubt Zogby is cheap.

4. Heh, insomnia. I did some digging...
The only year I could find a detailed budget for was 1998 when its operating budget was $30,586,000. Of that, 27 percent went toward production costs (I'm not sure where hiring a pollster would fall, but 27 percent was the largest chunk of the budget, so I'll be generous.) That's $8,258,220 for production.

I don't know how much it costs to produce shows for a cable network, so I can't truly figure if that's a lot or a little. But if they were swimming in cash, I'd figure they'd buy a second camera :P

5. I Know Little About Production Costs
Is that a lot of money?

6. "One Day Is Not A Trend"
Most hilarious headline i've ever woken up to.

Zogby is a disgrace.
