[release][img]http://img.wonkette.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/foxnewsscrewup.jpg[/img] Even more “win” for Fox News, which is so incompetent with polls at this point that it cannot get its own yes-or-no questions correct. DO YOU LOVE OBAMA? NO, I LOVE HIM.[/release] Hmmmmm, this fail is more obscene than the 193% pie chart and 120% of data fails combined.

Silly indeed.
Fox should give up on anything that involves math or thinking.
I vote I'm not sure (what the fuck this poll is trying to ask)
Not as funny as the odd percentage ones
[QUOTE=Kybalt;18865751]Fox should give up on anything that involves math or thinking.[/QUOTE] Yeah, maybe they should just focus on keeping good shows on the air instead of dealing with world issues.
Yes, I don't think its wrong.
[QUOTE=Zarfa;18865786]Yes, I don't think its wrong.[/QUOTE] Are you blind?
Good 'ol :foxnews:
I'd say that Fox news has been going down hill, but the thing is, you can't really get any lower than when they started.
[QUOTE=Master117;18865892]I'd say that Fox news has been going down hill, but the thing is, you can't really get any lower than when they started.[/QUOTE] Next stop: hell.
Fuck Fox with a steam roller.
[QUOTE=Rahkshi lord;18865848]Are you blind?[/QUOTE] You're pretty fucking slow.
They must have fixed it.
government edited it
They can't even stick to their own bias.
actually fox news is much more independent than other news stations msnbc...
[QUOTE=KanonieR;18865782]Not as funny as the odd percentage ones[/QUOTE] Just wait when they release the results.
They did it like that on purpose.
[QUOTE=Kybalt;18865751]Fox should give up on anything that involves math or [B]thinking[/B].[/QUOTE] That never has been there.
This made me chuckle.
Man these people are good!
Since they fixed it, it looks like 81% of people don't want Obama to have the Nobel Prize. It's not really sad, more annoying that they've basically manipulated the info.
[QUOTE=Shrooms;18866233]actually fox news is much more independent than other news stations msnbc...[/QUOTE] Independent from real life and fact maybe, but just because they are independent, that doesn't mean that they are good. In fact, bringing up how they are an independent company, is the most completely irrelevant then you could probably have said. Fox news is not news, it's political bias on TV.
Fox News: None of that mathematical bullshit bias.
Lol at the wording and response bias completely evident in their poll. Correct me if I'm wrong with the bias, I'm pretty bad at stats
I wonder who exactly in Fox's team wrote that poll. Maybe it's the same person who figured out those statistics.

Every news organization does unscientific polls that don't prove anything. [QUOTE=markfu;18867003]Lol at the wording and response bias completely evident in their poll. Correct me if I'm wrong with the bias, I'm pretty bad at stats[/QUOTE] It's inherently biased in the way it's carried out. Fox has a sub-organization that does scientific polls, where they have working statisticians carrying them out. This is not that sub-organization. This is an unscientific opt-in web poll, all polls like this don't glean any sort of information. They are statistically insignificant. And most news organizations do them on their websites. None of them claim the results have any sort of meaning. Nobody should be getting worked up about this.
[QUOTE=nERVEcenter;18871033]It's not even a scientific poll. Why does it matter? Every news organization does unscientific polls that don't prove anything.[/QUOTE] True, but you have to remember that some people actually take Fox News literally. :tinfoil:
[QUOTE=Alxnotorious;18871438]True, but you have to remember that some people actually take Fox News literally. :tinfoil:[/QUOTE] Lol, it's like people who call out Fox's commentators as biased. ...duh. Since when did Bill O'Reilly, nay, ANYONE on the channel declare that Fox was unequivocally attempting to be an across-the-board neutral news organization? All they've ever claimed is Fair and Balanced, by giving airtime to opposing viewpoints and hiring liberal analysts. Fox News...srs bidnis.
