Do you believe President Bush talked about
bombing the HQ of Arabic-language TV network
al-Jazeera?
CNN
asks this question in its Quickvote online
survey.
Total of 127645 online readers vote. Overwhelming
majority of 70% of all voters (88372 votes) say yes
they believe that President Bush talked about bombing
the al-Jazeera network.
Wanted to find out what did Fox readers have to say.
Unfortunately, Fox is asking questions to its readers
if they would buy a product if a celebrity endorses
it (some journalists will never change..they will
always remain public relations professionals!)
The surveys are some of the most unscientific tools
ever devised. But how scientific are the claims of
White House that the bomb story is 'outlandish'? At
least such a huge majority of centrist people don't
think much of White House assertions. Add to that the
working class population of America who don't come
online because they can't afford to (who darn well
have an opinion nevertheless), and you got the
country's verdict on this matter. At times, one has
to use the master's tools to break the master's
house. I mean, use mainstream media to understand
popular conscience!
