CNN is FIXING the VOTE

Edited on Mon May-10-04 04:23 PM by Nimble_Idea

On their online polls , like Wolf's online vote.

Pay attention to the vote total and then Pick your choice, and you will see that that vote totals don't change, they change later, but that don't mean they gave you your vote, I don't trust them.

2. The CGI script that updates the HTML for the results display

is probably scheduled to run every half hour or every hour. Results won't be posted instantly.

8. I actually think it works right.

I have noticed what you are saying in the past, but I think their online polls are reliable (as much as an online poll can be).

9. CNN posts polls multiple times

At different locations, then presents the results they want. For example: nearly the same poll will be posted on CNN home page, Lou Dobbs page, and Wolf Blitzers. Whichever poll gets the most pro-Bush result gets reported, and the other 2 get ignored.

A direct example, over the weekend I recall a CNN poll showing that 60%+ thought Rumsfeld should resign. Never saw that on TV. Today? Result shows 60%+ support Rumsfeld, and that's on TV.
