I'm PERMANENTLY Disabling ABC from my television...

[jerryman814]

After last night's debate, most (if not all) news channels showed polls which indicated Edwards easily defeating CHeney... However, on ABC they showed a poll with CHeney winning 43% to 35% ....

Hm... I wonder how this could happen...

"Methodology

This survey was conducted by telephone Tuesday night among a random-sample panel of 509 registered voters who watched the vice presidential debate. The results have a 4.5-point error margin. Sampling, data collection and tabulation were done by TNS of Horsham, Pa."

Freakin 500 surveyed only!!! AND most of them were republican!

"Among registered voters who watched the debate, 43 percent said Cheney won, 35 percent called Edwards the winner and 19 percent called it a tie. One factor is that more Republicans tuned in — 38 percent of viewers were Republicans, 31 percent Democrats, the rest independents."

AND.... then ABC had the nerve to call the debate in Cheney's favor because of their error-filled survey!

"Cheney is now two for two in vice presidential debates, albeit this time around his margin of victory is much smaller. In 2000, debate viewers called him the winner over Joe Lieberman by 19 points. "

This is why ABC will no longer be viewed in my household... thank you.

2. Gotta give Jennings credit though for pointing out they surveyed more GOP

I thought that was a bit of honesty. My take on Jennings is that he's a pretty straight up guy working for a Mickey Mouse outfit.

3. Mostly republican and JE still got 35%?

He really smoked him then! Pukes almost never admit they lost.
