I don't even know what you are talking about with the poll. But polls do occasionally add up to greater than 100 if the groups are rounded to the nearest whole number. For example, 50.5 say one thing, 49.5 say another, they round to 51 and 50, that's 101. Are you feeble at math?<br /><br />Do you have any better information on this other than your opinion, because as I stated earlier your opinion doesn't mean SHIT to me or anyone else.

Because they are so RABIDLY anti-American. You must be proud of this one:<br /><br />In October 2006, Chief Radio Correspondent for BBC News since 2001 and Washington correspondent Justin Webb said that the BBC is so biased against America that deputy director general Mark Byford had secretly agreed to help him to "correct" it in his reports, and that the BBC treated America with scorn and derision and gave it "no moral weight".<br />In April 2007, Webb presented a three part series for BBC Radio 4 called Death To America: Anti Americanism Examined in which he challenged a common perception of the United States as an international bully and a modern day imperial power.<br />American conservative news commentator Bill O'Reilly has for some time now labelled the BBC as the liberal media in the UK for its "inherent liberal culture."Matthewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705675907060089073.post-79737395504219443032009-12-09T18:58:34.491-05:002009-12-09T18:58:34.491-05:00In the seminar former BBC business editor Jeff Ran...In the seminar former BBC business editor Jeff Randall claimed that he was told by a senior news executive in the organisation that "The BBC is not neutral in multiculturalism: it believes in it and it promotes it." The Daily Mail claims that political correspondent Andrew Marr said that "The BBC is not impartial or neutral. It's a publicly funded, urban organisation with an abnormally large number of young people, ethnic minorities and gay people. It has a liberal bias not so much a party-political bias. It is better expressed as a cultural liberal bias". These comments were reported in the UK national press a couple of weeks later. At the seminar Helen Boaden (Director of BBC News) said that the BBC must be impartial on the issue of multiculturalism.<br />The Mail on Sunday (which was not present at the seminar) claimed that a senior executive at the seminar admitted "There was widespread acknowledgement that we may have gone too far in the direction of political correctness. Unfortunately, much of it is so deeply embedded in the BBC's culture, that it is very hard to change it".<br />............<br /><br />The BBC has also been accused of racism. In a speech to the Royal Television Society in 2008, Lenny Henry said that ethnic minorities were "pitifully underserved" in television comedy and that little had changed at senior levels in terms of ethnic representation during his 32 years in television. Jimmy McGovern in a 2007 interview called the BBC "one of the most racist institutions in England".<br />The BBC is striving for 12.5% of its staff to be from a black and minority ethnic background (12% at 31 January 2009). This is over 4 percent higher than the current percentage of ethnic minorities in the UK. However, it has been argued that much of its ethnic minority staff are cleaners, security guards and other menial labour, rather than as presenters and programme makers.<br />...........<br />A report commissioned by the BBC Trust, Safeguarding Impartiality in the 21st Century, published in June 2007, stressed that the BBC needed to take more care in being impartial. It said the BBC broke its own guidelines by screening an episode of The Vicar of Dibley which promoted the Make Poverty History campaign. A full transcript of the impartiality seminar is included as an appendix to the report.<br />The Evening Standard claimed that the report showed the BBC "is out of touch with large swathes of the public and is guilty of self-censoring subjects that the corporation finds unpalatable".Matthewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705675907060089073.post-48777311240552501832009-12-09T18:58:00.442-05:002009-12-09T18:58:00.442-05:00I've changed my mind JoeC, you are sooooo righ...I've changed my mind JoeC, you are sooooo right that the BBC is so much better than Fox. Here are some of their highlights you dumbass:<br /><br />BBC confesses bias on religion, politics <br /><br />Internal memo reveals execs saying Bible tossed in trash OK, not Quran<br /><br />An internal British Broadcasting Corporation memo reveals senior figures admitted the national news agency was guilty of promoting left-wing views and anti-Christian sentiment.<br /><br />News of the memo, reported by British media, comes as the BBC continues to struggle against claims of biased reporting on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and distorted coverage of the global fight against terror, reports the Israeli YnetNews.com.<br /><br />The admissions of bias were made at a recent "impartiality" summit the BBC held. Most executives admitted the corporation's representation of homosexuals and ethnic minorities was unbalanced and disproportionate, YnetNews.com said. The British news agency, the report said, leaned too strongly towards political correctness, the overt promotion of multiculturalism, anti-Americanism and discrimination against the countryside.<br /><br />At the summit, executives were given a fictitious scenario in which they were asked to make a judgment.<br /><br />In the illustration, Jewish comedian Sasha Baron Cohen would participate in a studio program in which guests were allowed to symbolically throw in a garbage bin things they hated.<br /><br />What would you do, the executives were asked, if Cohen decided to throw kosher food, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bible and the Quran in the trash.<br /><br />Everything would be allowed, the executives said, except for the Quran, for fear of offending the British Muslim community.<br /><br />The BBC also revealed its executives favored interviewing terrorist leader Osama bin Laden if the opportunity arose, the Washington Times reported.<br /><br />The executives were presented with a current hot-button issue in Britain, the wearing of Muslim veils. Should a veiled woman be allowed to present the news, they were asked. The BBC's diversity editor said yes, since news anchors were allowed to wear crosses.<br /><br />A senior BBC executive admitted to the British paper Daily Express, "There was a widespread acknowledgement that we may have gone too far in the direction of political correctness. Unfortunately, much of it is so deeply embedded in the BBC's culture, that it is very hard to change it."<br />.....................Matthewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705675907060089073.post-49828618807619122082009-12-09T17:54:01.194-05:002009-12-09T17:54:01.194-05:00hmmmm. i'm supposed to look into who funds the...hmmmm. i'm supposed to look into who funds the BBC, all the while you ignore who started Faux news and what his politics are right?<br /><br />I act like the BBC does a much better, deeper, more thoughtful look into the news than Faux.

And here is how you dispute the FACTS: "Besides a narrow study discussing canidates doesn't relate to the overall newscast and programming." Well the study is the study, and apparently the study shows what it does cover, and that is what they published. Why don't you look up a study that covers what YOU want covered and present THAT? You are making no sense whatsoever.<br /><br />There is always a valid concern for bias on BOTH sides JoeC, I am not ignoring and deflecting! You act like BBC is the pinnacle of truth mountain. Are you telling me that they aren't biased at all? As I said before, why don't you look into who funds BBC and report on that?!

"Through lobbying and industry-manufactured 'grassroots' activities, these individuals continue to influence and confuse the debate over global warming and hamper the efforts of the current administration to help establish a public consensus on this issue."<br /><br />The report notes that James L. Connaughton, the president's chief environmental adviser throughout both of Bush's terms, now works as a vice president at Baltimore-based power plant operator Constellation Energy.<br /><br />And Connaughton's chief of staff from 2001 to 2005, Philip Cooney, joined Exxon Mobil "in an unknown capacity" after leaving the administration.Bruce Fealkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15134820420899225811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705675907060089073.post-45786764973737055742009-12-08T12:53:23.296-05:002009-12-08T12:53:23.296-05:00Whoops that should have said ,Look what CBS has do...Whoops that should have said ,Look what CBS has done with frosty the snowman, Thought I had better correct that before the libs jump on that like a hungry pack of wolvesDoughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01515218285716247178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705675907060089073.post-87668587269410467522009-12-08T11:56:53.650-05:002009-12-08T11:56:53.650-05:00Matthew I just read the post on ABC.

Jeremy Paul Olson tried to chuck two tomatoes at Sarah Palin while she sign books at the Mall of America. The dingbat had such bad aim that not only did he miss Sarah Palin completely, he hit a police officer in the face!<br /><br />From My Fox9:<br />BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (FOX 9) - A man was arrested for throwing tomatoes at Sarah Palin during her book signing on Monday at the Mall of America.<br />Jeremy Olson, 33, allegedly threw two tomatoes from the second balcony, however did not come close to hitting Palin.<br />Bloomington Police report that Bloomington Commander Mark Stehlik was struck in the face with one of the tomatoes and may face charges for assaulting a police officer. Olson was booked at the Bloomington jail. He was arrested for suspicion of assault and disorderly conduct.<br /><br />What a complete twit! As Palin’s stature grows on this book tour, her detractors seem to grow more and more petty by the minute. In the last month we have heard them whine about, her flying instead of taking the bus, they have bitched and moaned about her photographer charging for pictures and they went absolutely ape shit because Palin said people have a right to question Obama’s birth certificate.<br /><br />Like I said way back in the beginning of this blog, the left is creating a Teflon Palin. All of these silly little attacks, complains and whines are only going to amount to a big fat “so what” come 2012. Just like when Hillary ran, the electorate treated the years of GOP attacks like old news. The only difference in Palin’s case will be that the attacks will seem unreasonable too. <br /><br />Think about it, what has Palin actually done to garner such hatred? Palin has not passed any national legislation, she has not stopped any national legislation and Palin currently holds no office to accomplish either. Yet, she is treated with the same kind of hatred as George W. Bush. It simply doesn’t make sense.<br /><br />So with each hate story they tell and with each tomato they throw, the left is creating the very thing they fear the most Madame President Palin.Matthewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7705675907060089073.post-67407674101522367352009-12-08T09:21:31.408-05:002009-12-08T09:21:31.408-05:00Well JoeC, typical lieberal mis-direction.
