This just in: FOX News Employees Have Poor Math Skills
So someone sends me a link to the FOX News site, and I thought I'd see what their polls had to say. I don't know how to post a screen shot, but he's a link and copy of the text: http://www.foxnews.com/polls/index.html

Story is on right under Top Stories heading, and title reads as follows:
Nine Point Lead
Oct. 17: Obama leads McCain by 46 percent to 39 percent, according to a FOX News poll

Apparently, math morans are in charge over at FOX.

:rofl:

2. Oops!
Their math really is bad. Maybe they were supposed to fudge it 2 points the other way. 7-2=9?

3. What's interesting is that the story blinks off after one second
I got to the site, saw it, and poof ! it blinked off.

Whe the hell would they keep it up for a split second instead of removing it?

Got a screen capture, too.

Dunno how to paste it onto DU tho.

Help???

5. Numbers like words mean very little to them. It's all fuzzy and
absurd. We must correct everything that is said to us, or we too will be in that world of nonsense.So when you are talking to a RWer, don't let their loose talk win. Correct them and hold them accountable.

They use these little innocent looking mistakes to condition people to not care what is the truth. They then slip in the huge lies, and if no one stops them they spread the lies and push the lies.

Thanks for bringing this up.

6. What will Faux News do
once there is a Democratic president and majority? A pin hole will pop their little arrogance balloon.
