I'm saying that any such claim that the "poll" is skewed by conservatives who twittered the links, emailed one another, posted the links all over conservative blogs, forums etc is a LIE. There is NO data to backup such claims. Yes, there are links to the poll on conservative sites, but also liberal sites, and none of the data shows that it was manipulated just for the sake of doing it..

Everytime someone emails the link and its clicked, the click source is recorded, none of these locations have high enough of a clickthru rate to even qualify for manipulation.

If you look through the clickthru rate, you'll see google, yahoo, etc which one would presume is non political affiliation, but among them you will see facebook, cnn, nytimes etc.. These are left leaning sites not right.

Do I believe the data is accurate, hell no, but any claim that they are manipulated through emails and forums is an outright lie.

Either way the administration looks like a bunch of juveniles running around without a clue when they start attacking TV channels. I think the liberal/dem's not being embarrassed by the administrations actions is pretty dam sad. Pathetic is probably the right term but I'll be nice this time.

Free Republic isnt anywhere near the top sources for the poll.. Did you even look at the list provided to tell you where the traffic comes from?

Well if this poll was not skewed by external sources, I think this only shows how non-bias and inclusive NPR is. Obviously you can't claim that NPR is a mouthpiece for the left when so many of its listeners openly sided against the administration.

I never listen to left winger stations and I saw the poll here. The left wingers cannot stand the fact that many Democrats are no longer mesmerized by the liar-in-chief.

It was nothing.
I just searched for the poll and found that it had been freeped.

Nothing that anyone else couldn't have done.
