Fox News Poll

Our local TV station Fox 29 ran this poll for tonight’s 10:30 Newscast.

“Is the Health Care Bill a milestone or a mistake?”
Two options were given: 1. Yes 2. No

An either or question cannot have a yes or no answer. Our WdC members do much better with their polls.
So, I e-mailed them. Probably other people did, too. Maybe they saw the mistake themselves.

As of the last twenty minutes or so, after the newscast, they changed the options to:
1. milestone 2. mistake

I think the Fox people are so upset with the results that they can’t think straight.

Anyone can make duh! mistake, for sure, but doesn’t the media have a self-check system?
