What's next, "Have you stopped beating your wife?"
How do you answer if the media has been duped by only one of the above?
The clear implication is that SBVT and the cottage industry of Bush smearers are birds of a feather.
Honestly, these online news organization polls are wrtten either by third graders or by propagandists.

Which is a ridiculous implication. One has to wonder exactly how you would answer that poll and exactly how Fox News intends to use it. Which is exactly what I intend to ask Fox News

And my response to Fox News
VIEWER VOTE
Have the media been duped by both the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and those who wish to discredit Bush?
Yes
No
Undecided
This is not a scientific poll.
No it’s a ridiculous poll, you have grouped an individual group Swift Boat Veterans as one side and all groups on another.
What kind of poll is that? It can’t be answered. Are you trying to say that the Swift Boat Veterans are the only group against Kerry or that they are smearing Kerry. Obviously it never crossed your mind that the statements the Swift Boat Veterans are making are based on facts, not smears.
Do I think that the SBVT have duped the media? Not in this life time, most won’t even give them the time of day, nor have they read the book or listened to the information to make an informed decision
Do I think that those who wish to discredit Bush have duped the media? Depends. But if you are talking about the factually inaccurate statements made by media supported Kitty Kelly, Michael Moore, or better yet, the forged documents from CBS. Then you can lay money on it.
I would urge caution Fox. I tend to share my disgust with my checkbook, which includes who and what I view on television as well as their sponsors (sponsors just love letters of disgust). Who’s smearing whom? In this question, I would say it is Fox News smearing the Swift Boat Vets.

It would be hard to come up with a more worthless poll than that one. Congratulations to the brainiac that authored that pile of crap.

Double ditto to that.
As if the two situations have anything to do with each other.
Instead of the disclaimer, "This is not a scientific poll", FoxNews should have said, "This is a poll for the terminally stupid." |

Oh for crying out loud! I just clicked the link before I read any posts. I sat there (like some boob) attempting to make sense of the question.
Did anybody send an email to fox about this. Just as stupid as CBS, but not nearly as serious.

I swear these were my exact thoughts as I tried to understand this question. The question doesn't make sense. What on earth do they mean? How idiotic. Fox news is just getting weirder and weirder.
