Guys it is most definitely fixed. I used to work for a market research company that did surveys for for a certain newspaper in a city often referred to with only 2 letters and a certain "charitable trust" that has since changed its name. Well, in 94 they couldn't get the numbers they wanted for the support for the AWB so they had people do what's known in the industry as "rolling numbers". You get a finite amount of sample, and you have to get a minimum # of responses from that sample or your survey is not scientifically valid. Well turns out on a certain question the American people hadn't answered the question to a certain Andy somethings liking. So they took the sample phone #'s added 1 digit and kept calling until they had the data fit the answer. I kept documentation and was going to turn it over to the NRA the following Monday. They broke into my locker and took everything out and assigned it to someone else. Destroyed all my evidence.
Without evidence I'm just another conspiracy kook. Woohoo look at my tinfoil hat!!!
CNN, Newsweek, LATimes, and NPR have all used data collected by this company. Anybody notice a pattern? Oh, and one of the founders is a charter member of HCI, ran for city council on the single issue of gun control, ran a gun buy back program, got the sale of AW banned with in Chapel Hill city limits, (there aren't even any stores that sell guns in our town any way, he's a hysteric cuz his daddy committed suicide) and alst but not least, he paid for 80% of the guns I now own.
Former British Prime Mintister Benjamin Disraeli once said "there are 3 kinds of lies. Lies, damned lies, and statistics".
Oh, and liberals are at least twice as likely, if not 5 times as like to participate in surveys as conservatives. Food for thought.
