CNN accidently reveals behind-the-scenes sloppiness

[Armstead]

1)CNN accidently revealed what a bunch of sloppy whores they are a few minutes ago.

Just before Crossfire, they came back a few seconds early, while Judy was talking withe the staff. "Are you sure you want to use that poll? There's another one that shows them tied." Then realizeing she was on air, recovered the "oops" moment.

Then lo and behold, onm Crossfire, Tucker trots out a new poll showing Bus is opening up a lead. And then on Wolf Blitzkreig he makes a big deal about the new Time poll showing Bush with a double digit lead.

I've noticed this before. When there are polls with conflicting results, they show the one with Bush ahead.

I don't know if it's bias or sloppiness, but either way we need to call them on this shit when we catch them.

1. Oh if only a DU'er caught it on tape

[Kahuna]

12. If only? If it was on IP, I have it.

nt

[Dookus]

17. I have it on Tivo

I caught Judy in mid-sentence saying "She said there may be problems with this poll, there's another poll out today that has 'em even. I don't know what it is."

Then she notices she's on air, smiles and says "That's it for Inside... you picked up our conversation here.... that's it for Inside Politics." Then I can hear Carville saying the word "terrible".

22. excellent catch!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

28. Maybe you can PM Wonk to make it available

then we cn media blast it

[Shoeempress]

2. Don't be a Naif, of course it is intentional.

[Skinner]

3. Nice catch.

I just put this on the homepage.

[slutticus]

6. Oops...

...I just nominated anyway.

:)

[Renew Deal]

4. There is a poll that gives Bush a double digit lead?

[asthmaticeog]

5. It was conducted at a country club, apparently

7. The Reason Why Polls Don't Matter To Me

... There's only one person who's opinion I care about and that's ME.

I ask myself every morning: "What do you think of George W. Bush?"

And the invariable answer is: "Not much".

So if come November 3rd you find that the entire nation voted for George W. Bush, except for one asshole in Massachussets...

... blame me.



:grr:

8. "the new Time poll showing Bush with a double digit lead."

If I had a nickel for every instance in my lifetime that Time magazine has been either dishonest or full of crap, I'd have more money than Halliburton.

And I wouldn't have killed American soliders getting it.

9. It's a holiday weekend, few people will be watching any news

so CNN's lame poll reporting won't be very effective.

[quaoar]

10. That sounds like

Woodruff was questioning the validity of the Time poll.

[BootinUp]

11. Wouldn't that be something

If they actually questioned a poll that was out of line with all the other polls. :think:

25. Only When She Thinks She's Off Camera

It doesn't matter how much questioning she does when the cameras are off, if she's going to be a shameless whore as soon as the producers says, "You're live!"

[citizen]

13. Has anyone here ever been polled?

Do you know of anyone who has ever been polled?

Who in the hell are these people?

[Gin]

14. I (think) I heard someon on PBS say they thought that double digit lead

was fishy....I think it was Mark Shields and the rethug agreed.

Folks...we have 60 days to go...a lot can, and will happen. Don't get all shook up.

Rove has fu**ed up everything he has done...remember that.

[obiwan]

24. I'm one of those people...

... I participate in two online polling surveys by major polls. Can't say which.





(Begins with a 'Z'?)

[obiwan]

26. Please note the Time poll includes leaners...

...those notoriously fickle poll-skewing voters. Also look at small sample size. Go to the Gallup site and find out their methodology.


(See response #23, this thread)

[mbali]

27. The problem is that the poll itself is likely to influence people

especially given the over-the-top coverage it's getting

[malatesta1137]

15. bias or sloppiness

you still ask? it's OBVIOUS they are biased.

[Piperay]

16. Time owns CNN

so of course they were going to use that poll since they commissioned it payed 'good' money for it. :silly:

[SeveneightyWhoa]

31. Exactly.

Good point!

'Preciate that.

[senseandsensibility]

20. What's the poll that has them tied?

Has it been released?

[Guaranteed]

21. LOL

They wouldn't TELL us that one...

I'd like to find that one, too.

29. I saw it, too

I thought she was cautioning that the Time poll might be an outlier.

God only knows what goes on during commercial breaks.
