this was something i'd forgotten about from a few weeks ago. this was in reference to a Britney spears story on the front page of CNN.com. this makes me angry at the least and pissed off that this country would rather keep its head in the sand then learn the truth about anything. the fact that this is in reference ot a spoiled crazy pop star is even more insane.
oh shit, i didn't notice the writing in the lower left corner until i posted it, "this is not a scientific poll". thank god.
what makes it a scientific poll? i assume it was posted on a webpage for people to click on their response. seems to be somewhat legit at least. i suppose theoretically people could sit there all day and click, but that disparity was still pretty big. ridiculous.
A scientific poll would have to have a representative sample of the population respond. Visitors to a CNN.com page over a certain time period are clearly not.
which is too bad because i would hope voluntary visitors to cnn.com would be slightly informed and intelligent
