Do you guys mind filling out a survey for a Media in International Relations class?
just go here and answer as close to to what you think as possible. It's only 5 questions and they're pretty simple.
Do you support the war
If McCain was in the lead how happy would you be
Which do you like more
Which news channel do you watch more.
For the last one answer which ever one is the most. Even if you don't watch either much. _________________ Be awed by our prowess!

What if my primary news station is neither of those? I almost never watch CNN or Fox News. |

What exactly does that mean? Are you referring to political biases? Style of news presentation? Types of advertisements? _________________ "There is no normal life, there's just life. Now get on with it" |

No I mean. Do you watch CNN 12 seconds a a day cause you flip by it more often but fox only 7, then choose CNN. _________________ Be awed by our prowess!

I took it, although I don't watch TV so my answer to the last question is a lie. |

Wait am I understanding this properly?
Media in International Relations and the questions are geared towards nationals & American citizens by assuming that one is eligible to vote and actually receives the news stations listed. How exactly then is this international relations based or the data not entirely corrupted? Even with the "pick the closest available" could not apply since it then brings in hypotheticals and not actuality.
"Who do you plan on voting for?"
International people cannot answer this without bsing entirely since only citizens of a country can vote. "Who would you vote for?" changes the meaning of the question entirely to not one of fact (do = can) but one of possibilities (would = if possible)
So am I getting it right? And if so you might need to explain that those who can't vote because of said reasons listed to either not vote or what have you lest your data get corrupted. _________________

It's for a class by a non-american going to an University of Illinois campus located in Athens, Greece. So while you may not find relevance in it, it is however apart of their project and I agreed to help them get a wider range of opinions for it.
So what's the point in bitching about it?
For the rest of you. Thank you for participating! _________________ Be awed by our prowess!

do us all a favor and ATTEMPT to not make assumptions; i only watch fox more due to default (channel surfing), which has no bearing on my support or lack thereof on the war. _________________ prinny...DOOD!

Well since the survey reached it's quota of entries I removed the link. So I can reveal what the point of it was.. And Sorry Syb. Yvl hit it right on the button this time around.
It was about bias from news networks and the political trends people follow who watch different news networks. And yes. People who watch Fox generally are more in favor of the war, as well as supporting McCain. _________________ Be awed by our prowess!

No, what you're after is data to prove a hypothesis, watch Fox = support war& vote McCain, what you got was opinions, some data and some corruption since "I don't watch Fox but I clicked it anyway" then corrupts your results. That was my problem, your poll dealt with facts, it was a fine poll if your intended pool was American citizens, it is not for an international pool since your results get skewed by opinions (Sybs post) possibilties (Starslashers) and outright self admitted false information (Vextors post)
How anyone can draw anything conclusive or credible from these results then? Are you going to also write up "while those who voted for Fox inherently showed a greater support of the war and McCain, the inherent reasoning for watching said program is due to a multitude of reasons which do not impact the conclusions in any way shape or form and subsequently skewed the results towards the hypothesis."? I have no problem with the idea of poll, I simply questions your execution of it considering your last post sounded off your very conclusions.
But, and I do stress but, I was only initially looking for who your pool was and if you wee fine with people effectively bsing options on the poll and I would have gladly filled it out to help out. I did not and posed the questions because I did not ant to either corrupt the results or further corrupt them. _________________
