ABC disney uses RW tank, AEI, 2 debunk exit polls
On Nov 9, evening natl news,
the pundit from
american enterprise institute said

"if i have to chose the best, exit polls or the finally tally, i am choosing the final tally."

this illogic just tosses out all thought of machine vote-theft. By never mentioning it.

Disney owns ABC, and the sports network that had Rush as commentator monday night, and had a spate of commercials for videos of animals killing other animals.

Disney himself was for RW economics, as witness his EPCOT resort... Economic Projection of the city of Tomorrow, i think... had to dig it out of them years back. Walt was not what he seemed. Common thing.. to have a false front. Watch for it in politicians too. Like Compassionate Conservatives.

And did you notice the shit-eating grin on Jennings' face at the end of the piece?

And I used to think he had journalistic integrity :grr:

2. I noticed that also. One of the worst. We need to figure out how to
fight those phony public policy pieces of crap. Nothing but a bunch of rich people figuring out how to sell govt policy that benefits them to people it screws. They have been given far too much crediblity. We need to figure out how to expose them for what they are.

4. That was horrible.
I simply couldn't believe it when they used a guy from the AEI to prove their point.

The story was biased as hell and basically called us all "conspiracy theorists" who were all wrong, and the story didn't mention any of the evidence oft seen at DU(ie. Ohio machine giving Bush 3000 extra votes)

Rather, they used the full segment to knock down the flimsiest evidence that has already been knocked down here at DU.

This is the media you're working against, folks. Peter Jennings basically just laughed at the entire notion that there was anything wrong with the election.

5. New York times article from October
Can someone dig that up? The premise is, exit polls have been used to detect voter fraud. That is one of their purposes. The article sites examples in other countries. The question I would pose to a naysayer is: at what point would a discrepency between exit polls and actual results make you doubt the results?

Has anyone looked into the historical accuracy of exit polls? Have they ever been this off?

6. thanks all, all good replies
Edited on Tue Nov-09-04 07:27 PM by oscar111
as to booting Disney.. interesting thing.. last i looked the BIGGEST DONOR to dem party was an outfit that does sat morning kiddie show... was it Power Rangers?
Name of outfit started with V , i think.

Oddly, i think it is on Fox, and has a lot of soft violence... weapons and judo, IIRC.

Pls correct me if i am wrong about details.. but i am sure of the donor part, and that they do a sat morn kiddie show.

Odd that they donate more than individual unions... of thousand-plus members.

8. 'Power Rangers' donor
I believe you're referring to Haim Saban. He estimates his donations to the democratic party to be around $20 million.

Are you surprised all have major Republican ties?
