The liberals don’t like the polls all showing President Bush taking a wide lead over John Kerry this late in the game, especially so consistently and so convincingly.
Therefore of course they have started levelling charges that the pollsters are somehow fixing the polls in favor of Bush.
Moveon.org, the rabidly liberal-left anti-Bush advocacy group funded by billionaire George Sorros among others, is charging that the fix is in and that’s why Bush is polling so well. They paid $68,000 to run a full-page ad in …. (can you guess?)…. The New York Times. The ad’s headline: "Gallup-ing to the Right. Why does America’s top pollster keep getting it wrong?"
See, when Bush is ahead, something’s "wrong".
The ad goes on to say that "two media outlets, CNN and USA TODAY, bear special responsibility" because "they pay for many of Gallup’s surveys."
Oh my.
And incidentally, in Canada, ads by MoveOn.org or any advocacy group would be against the law. Canada has a gag law thanks to the Liberal government, restricting non-political-parties from advertising during an election campaign; and even threaten the Catholic Church with a loss of their tax-free status if they promote their point-of-view to their followers during elections. And you thought Canada was a free nation. (Conservatives keep fighting for such freedoms in Canada).
