Reddit Loonies Hijack FoxNews Poll

Posted on by Stoutcat

From Reddit:

Can we out-vote the fruits and nuts on Reddit?

I voted, but the Reddit crowd is still ahead in the poll.



To: Stoutcat

I voted. Still 25% to 60%, reddit in the lead. Vote more.

Lulz, as if there aren’t loonies at *this* site too? No site is completely immune from the disease of liberalism. I go to Reddit often and find it does have a fair share of conservatives. If you go poking around in anti-Palin/Fox threads then of course you’re going to find liberals. Some conservatives don’t like Glenn Beck or Palin. That doesn’t mean they’re liberals.

Don't know what a “Reddit” is but FReeped the poll. Don't know what a “Reddit” is but FReeped the poll. There is only one left wing response so it will be an easy poll for anti-American types to swing it.



To: Stoutcat

Fox worded that poll badly. It’s like me taking a poll that says: Who do you think Jesus Christ was? a. The son of God

b. The word

c. The truth

d. The light

e. The lamb of God

f. a phony con artist and then complaining when F is selected more than the others.



To: Stoutcat

Notice that 3 out of the 4 choices (not including “other”) are valid responses in favour of the Tea Party. There is only one negative choice — thus practically guaranteeing that the largest single % response would be negative. Most people would just look at the bars, and not tally the positive responses. Quite a trick, eh? Just one of the many ways these (already meaningless) polls can be skewed, to produce any “results” the publishers want.

stupid pole.....too many choices for conservatives....not enough for leftists.

Well said.



To: Stoutcat

Whoever the dingbat is who put that poll up needs a flogging. Only a complete idiot would put a poll up that let’s the voter, vote more than once (without at least changing subnet IP addresses)

Online polls are really pointless. We know it, they know it, everyone knows it.

With racism and conspiracy answer leading the way, Foxnews will never show the results of this poll.

I voted, but these are never scientific polls. FOX and others create polls as a hook to get people, regardless of how that vote, to hit their websites. It's a money making gimmick.



To: Vaquero

STOOOPID POLE Cmon Fox, you know better.
