1. Kind of silly
Since it's an online poll--of course the people answering are people who get their news on the internet!

Still, enough polls like this might start getting people to realize that the usual fluff in your average daily newspaper isn't going to cut it anymore.

4. Or, it could expedite the demise of the internet as we know it.
Not this silly online poll (as you well described it!), of course, but the perception within the castles of power that the internet wields too much influence. That is what scares me.

2. Oh - I go to newspapers for the bare facts. Or the TV. And then
online for a more flushed out version.
