Topic: Faux Snooze does it again.120% of the people polled.

In their effort to skew the numbers of public opinion the Faux Snooze lie machine reported that ramussen polled 120% of the people. Then they stonewalled their own zero tolerance policy on on screen errors.

Well, here’s the Rasmussen poll Fox & Friends cited. They asked respondents: “In order to support their own theories and beliefs about global warming, how likely is it that some scientists have falsified research data?” According to the poll, 35 percent thought it very likely, 24 percent somewhat likely, 21 percent not very likely, and 5 percent not likely at all (15 percent weren’t sure).

Fox News’ graphics department added together the “very likely” and “somewhat likely” numbers to reach 59 percent, and called that new group “somewhat likely.” Then, for some reason, they threw in the 35 percent “very likely” as their own group, even though they already added that number to the “somewhat likely” percentage. Then they mashed together the “not very likely” and “not likely at all” groups, and threw the 15 percent who were unsure into the waste bin. Voila — 120 percent.

Now, now, let's not go screeching bias, they all could just be too dumb for basic math. Is it a blonde thing? Sixteen, count 'em, sixteen blonde, no wait, bleach-blonde anchors: http://micahmcmillan.wordpress.com/2008 … e-anchors/

Hell is a place where there is no reason.

Re: Faux Snooze does it again.120% of the people polled.

The sad thing is that none of them are really that attractive.  Most of them look like that barbie doll in that link: distorted.

I saw this on the Daily Show, who has also called out on Fox News showing the wrong clips suggesting they were trying to mislead viewers into thinking that turnouts for tea party protests and Sara Palin book signings were mobbed. 

Why do people watch this crap? Is it simply an epitome of what America is? Loud, cheap, distorted, faulty and in your face?
