Has anyone seen any polling on the SCOTUS coup yet? |
|
I know it's only been a day, but you would think lots of people would want polling on this issue immediately since it is so important.
Of course polling firms are corporations, so maybe we'll never see a poll.

1. On a scale of 1-10 on the public's give-a-damn-ometer, it doesn't get to 1. |

2. Not from what I'm hearing. |
|
I'd say it's at 8 and rapidly approaching a 10.
I did notice the MSNBC has stopped talking about it today, again probably because they're a massive corporation.

6. The "Toady Show" gave it two sentences this morning. |
|
Meanwhile, the spent 10 minutes talking about John Edwards and the book one of his flunkies wrote about him and his affair. Our "liberal" media at it's finest...

15. They love a good SEX scandal to divert the attention of the masses. |
|
John Edwards was screwing ONE person he shouldn't have been screwing, thanks to the Fascist Five on the SC, corporate America will be screwing millions of us.

16. Really, what do you expect from a morning "mom" talk show? |
|
Their main orders of business are gossip/health/fashion. They do a minor daily news segment which addresses world events and give cursory attention to any major world events such as epic deaths (world leaders, the pope, etc.), natural disasters and famous marriages/divorces. That's the slot they fill, but they're not a news program.

4. Have you seen any coverage on the SCOTUS coup ? |
|
I doubt it, but I wouldn't know because I can't watch the news. Stewart didn't even mention it last night, not that he's "news coverage". I guess maybe tonight he could find a few words?

5. TDS isn't on Friday nights.. |
|
and they're also owned by a gigantic corporation.
I think we're already seeing the consequences of the ruling 24 hours later.

11. If we don't see polling by Monday, that is what happened. |
|
So far the coup is humming right along.
I expect Internet censorship is right around the corner, in weeks, not years.
