Reply #5: chris, You speak with the voice of reason. Isn't it total bull shit.

This one fact and the various explanations on this site were the clincher for me too. I like the way you outline it. Basically, they retrofitted the poll to meet the elation results at the very least, to avoid controversy (if you know what I mean).

They cared more about appeasing and serving power than they do about truth. They would have had to post the real results, point out that the last two Presidential exits were within .5% of accuracy and stood their ground. They are cowards.

The ultimate commentary on the press is simple: "Deep Throat," Mark Felt, chose to release his identity through a reporter for Vanity Fair. This says worlds about how far the mighty Woodward and Bernstein have fallen, along with the Washington Post. Felt just gave them the blow-off because he know they're whores as are the "majors," or as I like to call them CM (corporate media).
