[Angry Dragon]

New rules.........Did you not get the memo??

[GreenPartyVoter]

5. My 11 yo thinks that's hysterical

[ieoeja]

54. Is Fox News smarter than a fifth grader?

[Patsy Stone]

6. Oy. Good job.

OTOH, I read it so quickly, for a second I thought Back Pain was running. :)

[Odin2005]

37. DUzy!

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

7. Wow, almost six thirds of Republicans were polled

with a margin of error of 100%!

[rocktivity]

8. I think it's even funnier that they're the front runners

What, no Gingrich?

9. Rupert Murdoch should be tried as a war criminal....

.... His War on Brains has devastated this country.

[L0oniX]

10. Kick ...for stupid Fux.

[Liberal In Texas]

11. "Source:Opinions Dynamic" They must be who Fox uses to count Teabagger

rallies.

[spanone]

12. who is 'source: opinions dynamic?' google...nada

[Chulanowa]

15. It's probably from a poll on the FOX news site

"Dynamic" would mean the poll is still active and thus results may change.

[Gormy Cuss]

17. I'd hazard a guess that the folks at Opinion Dynamics are happy about that.

There's no point in them sharing blame for that botched graphic.


eta: the pie chart is displaying the favorability ratings for each candidate among Republicans (poll conducted 11/18-19.) Why someone would put these in a pie chart? Dunno.
:rofl:

[donco6]

13. And they'd be the first to rag on my kids for making a mistake on a test.

Dumbasses. I am so fucking sick of them.

[jillan]

14. Too bad Stewart is on vacation this week - he would've loved this.

Let's see if Keith or Rachel pick up on this.

And they wonder why we call the Faux news. hehehe.

[The Doctor.]

16. When it's a Pi chart, you have to multiply radius of 100% by 3.1415926535

[ddeclue]

33. Try out 355/113 ...it's a really cool approximation to pi and easy to remember as 11 3/3 55

[Mythbuster]

18. In other Faux News...

The 193% of voters in this poll accounted for roughly 40% of all registered voters. :evilgrin:

[sakabatou]

20. Fox needs to go back to basic math class

[catnhatnh]

21. MY GOD!!!!!

This means 107% of republicans refused to support all three!

[ecstatic]

22. Amazing. And their loyal viewers probably didn't notice anything wrong

In fact, they're probably running to their friends bragging about their candidates' numbers. LOL!

[SkankWhisperer]

23. Um, Carry the 2......That's Almost Half!

[Mythbuster]

24. I wonder if Newt is pissed because they left him out? n/t

[thelordofhell]

25. I think the mistake is worse than it seems

I think they only asked 193 people and those "percentages" are really just the people who answered the question.

[StarfarerBill]

26. Time to show the Faux Spews political commissar the door;

deliberate misleads can never be exposed as such.

[salinen]

27. They are probably lying

about the 47 degrees too.

[DaveinJapan]

28. I don't believe for a second that it's a "fuck up".

Just like the other shit, this is insidious propaganda designed with the simple goal of making it seem as though right wing support is huge.

Just like the "mistaken" video footage.


“The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly - it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over”

Joseph Goebbels

[dmr]

44. You could be right. Maybe using this as a visual aid to those who

lack intellectual curiosity and who take things at face value, that there is large & strong Republican support.

[HughMoran]

29. The "Fox" and "again" are not needed

Just fuck-ups.

[bevoette]

30. uh-oh...with their new 'zero tolerance' policy *snort* somebody prolly got fired!

http://thinkprogress.org/2009/11/23/fox-news-memo/

[tabasco]

31. They must hire a lot of Liberty U. grads.

No other explanation.

[ddeclue]

32. With 193% of the vote in - the winner is Sarah Palin - what a major Fox up!

:rofl:

[live love laugh]

34. That new math is a bitch. nt

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

35. What do you expect?

Math aint their strong point. They're a party that believes cutting taxes increases revenue.

[Odin2005]

36. OMFG, ROFLMAO!!!

:rofl:

[Historic NY]

38. Did Rupert kill the offender? GOP screwing the numbers as usual.

[Ichingcarpenter]

39. I did a search on their source: OPINIONS DYNAMIC= NADA, ZELCH, ZERO

There is nothing on google on them so they made that up too.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

40. ?Gee, what a surprise!

Fux does not have any facts? I'm shocked! Oh, by the way, neither does Pravda.

[Egnever]

41. Wow that is odd isnt it.

only link for it is to DU. LOL we are opinions dynamic! They are posting our polls!


Sweeeet!

[onenote]

52. Nah, they just can't spell. Its Opinion Dynamics

And here is the poll questions/answers

[krispos42]

42. Wait wait wait...

Aha! Perfect!

:rofl:

[underpants]

43. Fox 47*

at that body temp they are officially brain dead

[JackDragna]

45. Great. We have no shot now.

Republicans can pull off statistical anomalies. Obama will surely lose when Palin gets %4000 of the vote.

[malaise]

46. No wonder they think Acorn

stole the 2008 elections. Bwaaaaaaaah ahahahahahahhaa :rofl:

[Hepburn]

47. IMO, the 47 at the lower left refers to collective IQ and not temperature!

LMBO....:rofl:

[lonestarnot]

48. ROFLMAO

:rofl:

[tomm2thumbs]

49. when I first saw 'Back Palin' I actually read 'Back PAIN' - coincidence?

that's a might colorful pie for a bunch of uncolorful people

[Mabus]

50. Anyway you look it, these numbers tell us all we need to know about Fox viewers.

:evilgrin:

53. There's one thing you've got to say about Faux Snooze ...

... they're consistent.

[boppers]

55. Wow, way to confuse a pie chart.

Did they get the temperature wrong, too? Was it really 74 degrees out?

[Shadoobie]

56. I looks like they made the pie higher.

I didn't think it could be done. I thought Bush was a fool for saying it but FOX managed to make the pie higher.

Greg

[Blue_Tires]

57. lol at that

[bergie321]

58. Faux News

Must ask: Is our viewers lerning?

[chollybocker]

59. Mmmm...Bumpkin Pie

[David Zephyr]

60. And 1,000% back Reagan.

Kick.

[eppur_se_muova]

61. DRE'S CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN! nt
