Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for April 28, 2015
Transcript:
Goat: What are you doing, Rat? Rat: I got a job as a polltaker. Goat: Do you do it fairly? Rat: Sure. I just ask the question and write down the answer, watch. Sir, are you in favor of the current mayor or do you agree with all the smart people who say he's a poophead? This mayor's in trouble.

You mean CNN or MSNBC?

“A Bigtime Poophead” How long before we hear that one coming from the mouth of a Repug candidate or a Fixed News commentator?

Strange Rat should say poophead when Rat’s head looks like an arse or heart,take your pick :-O

This is how most surveys are done. They ask the question in such a way as to skew the results one way or another. That’s why I don’t pay much attention to them; I think for myself.

Typical of all polling organizations. They are hired by clients who want a specific outcome, and they deliver to the customer’s satisfaction. Whatever “facts” you want, they can tailor questions to produce those “facts.” Left, Right, Moderate, Big-Endian, whatever, as long as you pay their price….

I just got a poll from a Certain Party like that. On the contribution section, I simply wrote “Are you kidding me?”
dutchs almost 10 years ago
Yup, Timmy McVeigh, card carrying Communist. Anders Breivik, ditto. Flaming liberals.

Here’s a fact: Among cable news, a recent study showed that the news service with the least news, and the most opinion is….MSNBC. http://tinyurl.com/bqrj73a

Mike Parsons Premium Member almost 10 years ago
But his opponent in the election was a pooptime bighead, so what’s going to change?

“What is your opinion on Stephan Pastis finally using the eraser on Rat?”I’m sure that question would cause a stir!xxx

I wonder why MSNBC calls itself “The Place for Politics” and Faux calls itself “Fox News Network.” At least MSNBC is honest about it, and even has a three hour show by a conservative. Where’s the Feces equivalent? (Sorry, autocorrect)

Suspect those who habitually use epithets about Fox News don’t know whereof they speak. Even the opinion shows on Fox present a spokesman from both views. Fox is not at fault if there are no leftists who can articulate the position intelligently.

Would love to see a Cruz-Clinton debate. It would be brutal. Of course, even Palin would make mincemeat of the Queen of Benghazi.
