A poll that cries out for attention

even though I generally don't think DUing online polls does much good. This one is for the stories one would like to see explored on MSNBC, including the Gannon story.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6862172/

Vote in ALL categories, or your vote will simply be taken off the top, and off the Gannon story side.

5. We're dying for some real journalism out here.

But, for the networks that would be like work so why bother.

8. Well yeah we are....

6. Well,

Edited on Thu Feb-17-05 05:23 PM by fertilizeonarbusto

the situation is BAD. A lot of people were suspicious of the election, the war in Iraq is awful-and then Syria, North Korea, Lebanon and Iran are in the wings, the deficit is record, the economy is stagnated, China is poised to take off and the Rethug's fanaticism on SS, science teaching and other such things is scaring a lot of people. So, many more are actually paying attention, and, IMHO, thinking more critically.
