Boycott CNN
This morning on CNN, they said that according to on line polls, the presidential debate was a draw. So, I went to the web site and the poll shows Kerry is ahead. Way ahead. So, I wrote them... asking how could they expect me to trust them to deliver the news when they intentionally lie about such a thing? Anyone else who has a moment and feels so inclined, should do the same.

1. I did it a long time ago..
Although I did tune in last night to see how they were going to spin the "meltdown" that Bush had.. Instead they just chose to ignore it.. Add to the fact that they had on the irrational and psychotic Ann Coulter on last night.

2. It's simple:
Their logic is that the punditry and the Squawking Heads have a more valid view of the debate than the citizenry. They dismiss the polls as having been skewed by "the dems". Thus, the opinion of people, in a direct plebicite, is to be dismissed, while an elite is far wiser.

Welcome to The Electronic Plutocracy.

3. I Think They Were Talking
about the CNN/Gallup poll of a control group of undecideds they had in their studio. Not their on-line poll.

4. I'm exhausted trying to keep up with the media polling
It's all bullshit. first of all, if you have 5 people in your house who support Kerry and one computer, then you can only cast one poll vote.

I've given up on polling. Cnn sucks, no matter what.

6. I have written to those bastards countless times and
am convinced that they just don't care what you and I think. The fact that you and I think is counter to their mission.

Yet there are so many people that just have CNN on in the background and aren't aware of the bias when they watch it more attentively. I know I'm not making a lot of sense here, but I'm so pissed at that shill organization that I can't see straight to even type.

5. And last night, when I voted on the CNN online poll right after the debate
the poll would not register the vote. It kept showing 0% for each candidate. I wonder why. I wonder if their online poll was being swamped with pro-kerry voters and they were of a mind to show us differently!
