It's simple, if it were a public poll it would be easy to see that a lot of liberal votes are from users with no posts and who only log in to vote in polls like this BUT of course you claim that you do it so people can vote freely as if anyone here cares if people know how they vote. I'm in no way paranoid, I'm just catching on to how things work around here.
That's funny....IMO...I see it exactly opposite....like many conservatives have multiple usernames............ASK the MODERATORS to make it PUBLIC.......YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION.......I simply forget to check mark the box to make polls public....so you know there are no shennagins....just DM any moderator......they can check my post for permission and voila!

I really don't appreciate your condescending and argumentative tone........grow up and ask a moderator since you are so smart. And if you don't ask the moderators...I will assume you are simply trying to inflame the thread!!!!!!

They all do a great job of pandering to their base. They also make sure to keep the left/right elitist control game going.

Just look at the trashing Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich receive when they dare to go outside of that paradigm.

I chose MSNBC, which, incidentally, used to be my primary news channel. I still watch Morning Joe, and on occasion, Chris Matthews, but I simply can’t stomach the rest. IMO, both MSNBC and Fox are propaganda machines for their respective ideologies. Rarely do they “report†the news. CNN is rather dull, but at least I can frequently get the actual news, minus opinions.

Maybe you should look at the poll again.

I don't watch CNN for their political dialogue. When it comes to breaking news, I tend to watch them.

In my opinion, they have to most capital when it comes to disasters, accidents, ect. Sure, it may still be biased, but they have the greatest coverage of a particular event.

Besides, when I am stuck at the airport (almost weekly), CNN is the go-to new channel.

Wait. How can CD member have multiple user names? That isn't allowed on CD I assume. Wouldn't they be deleted and banned if they attempted to have more than one account?

I didn't think that would happen on the forum.

I agree with you. CNN is very left wing however for breaking news, accidents and disasters I do flip to them to compare and contrast their coverage. They do have more capital it seems.

Speaking of airports if there is an airline disaster or something like this then the coverage is good because they have less reason for bias and I use them as a source.

You are completely right. I had a friend who came here with me over a year ago and he got banned almost immediately and tried the trick and it didn't work. Some months later he had the same thing happen and it still didn't work. Maybe some mod got in his butt immediately and took him down but I don't think that many, if any, on either side get that accomplished.
