Title: Oh, the depths to which they will sink.
Post by: 230RN on August 13, 2015, 09:59:13 AM

I don't know who sponsored this "poll," but I thought it was interesting how they seem to be forcing a "NO" vote on the question, "Should GOP fight Obama on gun control?"

Notice how tiny the "exit" "X" is?

Notice how it's within the "NO" choice?

Ya think maybe a certain proportion of folks who want to just click out of the ad miss the "X" and hit the "NO?"

Ya think this is a biased poll?

Yes?  Then you must be paranoid, like me.

No, you are not just paranoid. This is blatant.

That is an advertisement.  I bet anywhere you click on it would push you to a page begging for money or selling something.

Wouldn't suprise me if clicking to exit the ad also counted as clicking the No.

I doubt there was even a poll behind it.
