[Vision2020] Commentary by Michael Costello of the Lewiston Tribune

[Tom Hansen]

FOX NEWS???

A professor at Washington State University is using Fox News as a "reliable"
news source?

That poll is jam-packed with loaded questions. 

Question #19, the question referenced by Washington State University
Professor Michael Costello, who relies upon it as stating that:

"A recent opinion poll revealed that only 51 percent of registered Democrats
actually wanted the United States to win this war. More than a third (34
percent) actually wanted failure and another 15 percent were uncertain."


Question #19 from the cited source:

"19. Do you personally want the Iraq plan President Bush announced last week
to succeed?

Yes No (Don't know)
Democrats 51% 34 15
Republicans 79% 11 10
Independents 63% 19 17"

Judging by your application to this loaded question, Mr. Costello, it is
also clear that 11% of the Republicans and 19% of the Independents want
failure.

But then what would you expect from a group of people that have been exposed
as nothing more than a contingent of campaigners for the Bush
administration.

What are your thoughts, V2020?

Seeya round Town, Moscow.
