Why do liberal media always show the dumbest polls?

Question

for example...
how many people think that iraq was a mistake? is a common one on CNN
which is an extremely stupid question for a poll and useless.
why don't they ask/show some real poll questions like
how many people think iraq would be in chaos if US troops leave?
or
how many think that the terrorist will romp freely in iraq if US troops leave?
or
what will happen to the iraqi people who supported US after US troops withdraw from iraq?
or
how many people think that the 'war on terror' actually means running away from terrorist (al-qaeda) in iraq. (regardless of how they got there and so on....they are there now and we must deal with them instead of just running away and praying to jesus that they wont attack US again.)

Answer 1

The liberals have to invent some kind of backup for their absurd theories or to push their ludicrous agendas. So they come up with these asinine polls. I think that they sincerely know that the majority of REAL Americans don't agree with them, but they want to project through the media that they have full American citizen support. It's all propaganda, really.

Answer 2

Media isn't considered liberal just because they show polls with Obama in the lead. Polls over the last 40 years have shown that the media is overwhelmingly liberal. Many lie and call themselves moderate but then spew liberal dogma. Do a google. I did. the link below is just the beginning of many.

Answer 3

LIberals feel they must legislate fairness, as mainstream America has rejected them and what they term"fair". Liberals have an agenda to indoctrinate and assimilate our younger voters into the fold under the guise of fairness and equality, when the truth is, they neither want to be fair, or equal. They preach tolerance, only because they seek to have their agenda tolerated, and not discarded by the Mainstream American. In doing so, they twist their polls to have the answer clearly hidden within the question itself, but yet, have the audacity to call themselves "free thinkers". They are progressive without progress, free thinkers with no forethought, and tolerance, is merely the virtur of a man without convictions.

Answer 4

I always laugh when I read or hear about the "liberal media". CNN is accused of telling the news from the left, FOX news is accused of telling the news from the right, the LA Times is liberal but the San Diego Union Tribune is conservative.....

Let's face it. News services need to think that they have to come out with the story first. They would report about kidnapping their own mothers if they could get away from it.

If you listen to talk radio, it's mostly conservative talk. All the crappy tabloids (i.e., Elvis was found eating a donut on Hwy 40.....Martians shake President Bush's hand) is actually the owner of all FOX publications. I think the "liberal media" has been cried out.

Answer 5

The questions in polls are often asked in such a manner as to make the outcome the way the pollster wants it. You are for something and the way they ask ,you answer against it. They never ask you a simple yes or no question then they twist the given answers to mean something else. I have learned to ask who is sponsoring the poll, that way I have a clue how to answer the question so my true intention comes across the way I intended.

Answer 6

Because the liberal media has an agenda. To smear Bush and all republicans, to get their cohorts, the liberal democrats into office. Just like all the professors are brainwashing students with extreme left wing propaganda. Even public school students are being indoctrinated, they are making them watch garbage like "An Inconvenient Truth" which isn't even proven to be factual yet! At the same time, they are trying to silence conservative talk radio. They want a monopoly over this country, it's sickening.

Answer 8

The Clinton News Network is very liberal biased. Of course they're only going to ask questions they already know the answers to, from their liberal viewing audience, to make themselves look good enough to keep up appearances - er I mean ratings.

Answer 9

Liberal media polls are designed to degrade conservatism. Thus, the questions are frame in favor of their views.

Answer 10

Because they preach to the choir and reinforce their own agendas.
