Robert Novak used a poll off the internet to create public support for right-wing political maneuvering. I think it was in reference to the 2000 election and that it involved a poll stating that the majority of the public wanted Gore to stop the recounts.
Does anybody remember this? It was the very first time that I learned that on-line polls were being used by the mainstream press. Soon after that, I learned about the freepers and their freeping tactics. Looking back now, I wonder if this wasn't a set-up. Does anybody remember where that poll was coming from that Novak used?
