When I first read the headline, Legislators’ Survey Are Not Exactly Unbiased, I couldn’t help but think: “pot meet kettle.” What is the Deseret News thinking accusing the Republican Legislators of using biased polls? I have cited on this site several incidences of such bias. Oh, just for the fun of it, let look at [...] I haven’t spoken much lately about a faulty Deseret News poll. Not because they haven’t had them, but for the most part they were uninteresting. Oh, they have gotten slightly better, but still they are skewed.

Regardless of whether you feel that polling is news or not, the newspapers are treating it as such, so we need to address it. Dan Jones and Associates, the Deseret [...] I just can’t get the ABC News Survey that I participated in on Thursday. It seems to keep haunting me. It’s like Nightmare on Elm Street (Jason keeps returning and returning). One of the questions that really baffled me was: “Do you approve of the selection of Pope Benedict XVI?” Actually, I think they said [...] I received an interesting phone call tonight.
