I guess it would be pretty difficult for Obama to get a good grade in an MSNBC online poll at which other extreme right-wing websites are pushing their Conservative readers to vote in it in mass numbers !
An MSNBC online poll being "intentionally skewed" by Conservative websites ?
Any surprise there ?
bwahahaha! roflmaoand lol........... they are so pathetic that they are clinging to meaning less polls that hold a disclaimer to find some sort of victory. They really are done for a while.

Meaningless polls on MS*My CEO works for Obama*NBC?
Next thing you know Moveon.org will be a conservative establishment and Media Matters will be credible.

No surprise at all. Look at the Goober who started the thread. These people dont get their news at MSNBC, they wouldnt know a poll was happening there unless it spread through the cyber world of redneck booger eaters with a computer
It's a shame that all the "real money" in the world isn't buying into the "basic laws" of fiscal policy. I guess the world just has it all wrong don't they...
Brock’s aggressively personal attacks on his former allies on the right were rewarded in May of 2004, when he announced the creation of Media Matters (http://www.discoverthenetwork.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=7150 - broken link), a political rapid-response site for the Democrats’ Shadow Party (http://www.discoverthenetwork.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6706 - broken link) operation posing as a critical journal to keep conservative media honest. George Soros (http://www.discoverthenetwork.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=977 - broken link) and former Clinton chief-of-staff John Podesta (http://www.discoverthenetwork.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=1626 - broken link) helped Brock raise $2 million (about ten years of the comparable investment in a conservative website like Frontpagemag.com. Again the air was thick with irony. In a March 2002 appearance on NBC’s Today Show, Brock had claimed that conservative financier Richard Mellon Scaife (and his contributions of “more than $2 million”) was the engine behind the supposed vast right-wing “conspiracy” that Brock had so sonorously renounced. The fact that Brock was now the beneficiary of far more money than had ever been put at his disposal as a conservative contradicted the organizing theme of Media Matters, namely that the conservative movement was so well-financed that it exercised an “undue influence” on what is popularly believed to be the province of the political left: the mainstream media.
According to Brock, the very fact that the mainstream media outlets are associated in the popular consciousness with leftwing politics evidences the right’s domineering influence and proves that the political center of gravity has shifted rightward. “The right wing in this country has dominated the debate over liberal bias, he has said. “By dominating that debate, my belief is they’ve moved the media itself to the right and therefore they’ve moved American politics to the right.”
Brock made the point more simply in his 2004 book, The Republican Noise Machine: Right-Wing Media and How it Corrupts Democracy, an invective-fueled broadside against “biased right-wing media,” “biased right-wing commentators,” and a “mainstream media susceptible to right-wing scripting.” The argument in this book is pure fantasy. Once upon a time there was a fair, balanced and objective media; now, thanks to the influence of well-funded institutions of the right, the media has become unfair, unbalanced and biased. The mendacity that pervades every page of this book is exposed here.

All true. Nothing I disagree with, because its all true. It hasnt ever been so obvious as it is today, and the stakes of a free and investigative news media have never been higher. Without people like Media Matters exposing the outright fraud, as well as the very subtle shifts in "news" media all singing the same song, it would be that much more difficult to sift through the endless stream of nonsense looking for the actual truth.
There are less than 200 people who control everything you hear and see in mainstream media journalism. Thats how many own the media in America.
They are not liberals.
