Bullshit. Manufacturing consent.

SSRS are a C+ pollster. I'd trust them about as far as I can throw them.

A fucking mail survey on top of that. Talk about self-selection.

The CNN poll was conducted by SSRS from July 1 through 31 among a random national sample of 1,279 adults initially reached by mail.

The margin of error could also make actual support go either way.

Results for the full sample have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.7 percentage points; it is larger for subgroups.

All in all, a completely useless poll.

Absolutely awesome find. Thanks for the input. My stomach sank when I read that article this morning on CNN. Couldn't believe we would give up our support so quickly

I still remember the fake "onsite" reports "from Iraq".. CNN as phony as a two dollar bill

[–] NateSwift@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait what? Two dollar bills are real? Am I being wooshed?

[–] Drusas@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Two dollar bills are, in fact, real.

[–] NateSwift@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

now that two dollar bills are real. Rereading my comment it’s really ambiguous, but my question was about the phrase as real as a two dollar bill. Are they trying to imply that CNN isn’t fake?

[–] Drusas@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I think they are implying that CNN is fake, but they were misinformed about the reality of a $2 bill.

It's absolutely incredible how people got trained to screech about Russian propaganda any time they're faced with anything that doesn't fit the propaganda narrative they've internalized. Imagine how out of touch with reality a person has to be to genuinely believe that CNN is doing Russian propaganda.

Fuck CNN. Another useless "news" network like fawx news.

Get your news from AP directly or from PBS (who is the only news company that still follows the Fairness Doctrine)
