that explains everything
[QUOTE=Glaber;52478437]As for who I do trust, Rush Limbaugh. (and if your source for what he says is ABC or CNN or any other news source, you're getting his words though a filter)[/QUOTE]
This has to be trolling, right?

Oh that's simply [I]golden[/I], I highly doubt this hypocritical misinformation-spewing lump of a man can draw out the trust of anybody remotely reasonable and informed.
I've had to sit and watch my father and his wife get riled up on rush's antagonistic bullshit so many times it's unreal.
What reasoning is there to why rush "Obama health care logo is damn close to a Nazi swastika logo" limbaugh is, in any sense of the word, trustworthy or honest? He's literally the guy that came up with the term "feminazi." His profession over these last few decades is more-or-less to get people angry and fearful, not informed.
But then again that's just my anecdote, maybe he is an incredibly reasonable person with extremely valuable insight and I just have the wool pulled over my eyes by that dastardly leftist agenda.
[QUOTE=Glaber;52478347]well maybe you'd all have a point, if we had standalone ABC polls without the Washington post involved.
I'd say something about the News anchors, but that would assume people here actually watch the station. (we have it on sometimes at work)[/QUOTE]
So you can't prove there is anything wrong with the polling (which has been shown to be objectively accurate in the past) so you are just going to assume there is something wrong with this poll in particular because of your feelings regarding WaPo.
As long as we are talking about feels over reals, where do you think Trump's approval actually is Glaber? Whats Rush telling you.

[QUOTE=Lambeth;52478465]I don't think bias matters as long as their reporting and polling are considered accurate, which they are. [B]Rush is not remotely truthful imo, he's a commentator that simply says things you like to hear.[/B][/QUOTE]
Rush Limbaugh is a [URL="http://www.politifact.com/personalities/rush-limbaugh/"]completely trustworthy[/URL] source of information and I won't have you lefties on FP drag his name through the mud.

It is not. I try to catch his show when I can.

You should stop
[QUOTE=Glaber;52478562]It is not. I try to catch his show when I can.[/QUOTE]
he is not a source of information, he's a source of explicit bias.
[QUOTE=Glaber;52478562]It is not. I try to catch his show when I can.[/QUOTE]
You're only fooling yourself, the guy does not seem trustworthy. But ignorance is bliss i guess.
[QUOTE=Glaber;52478562]It is not. I try to catch his show when I can.[/QUOTE]
Then you have fuckall credibility in criticizing sources for being biased, plain and simple
[QUOTE=nask;52478537]This has to be trolling, right?[/QUOTE]
Daily reminder that Glaber once posted an obscure far-right Canadian newspaper with a 15-year-old secessionist from Texas as a contributor as a source.
[QUOTE=Glaber;52478297]Disney has tried to push stuff that the Left liked before in their entertainment shows before, so I wouldn't put it past them to push or lean to the left with their news station too.[/QUOTE]
There is a vast difference between risking the credibility of your news station falsifying polls and having a kid with two moms on Dog With A Blog.

As for who I do trust, Rush Limbaugh. (and if your source for what he says is ABC or CNN or any other news source, you're getting his words though a filter)[/QUOTE]
And this guy is complaining about news bias, holy shit.
If Rush Limbaugh said the sky is blue, i'd look out the window to double-check it's not turned into cabbage soup while I was inside.
Even if you didn't support ABC News' polls, just look at FiveThirtyEight, which encompasses a shitton of polls in order to find a non-partisan approval rating.

His ratings are garbage rn. No two ways about it.
So when is this shit actually going to mean anything? By this time next year he'll be -50% and it still wouldn't matter.
[QUOTE=Glaber;52478437]Well how can I trust the poll even if I did concede on the time frame bit? After all it was Gman003 who said:
and the poll is a Wapo poll. When I tried to find a poll to prove my point and failed, all I could find were joint polls between ABC and Washington Post.
How can I trust ABC if they use a clearly Leftist source for their polls?
As for who I do trust, Rush Limbaugh. (and if your source for what he says is ABC or CNN or any other news source, you're getting his words though a filter)[/QUOTE]
If you don't believe the poll, learn statistics and check the methodology yourself. Don't say "I don't trust X source, I won't listen to them ever." That's ignorance, flat out. I'm studying public policy, and it involves a lot of opinion polling, a lot of statistical inference, and a lot of genuine data-crunching that is held up to pretty rigid standards among professionals.
Do not trust or distrust a claim based on the source alone. I did a research paper on media bias, and I had to personally read over a thousand individual articles from Breitbart to Occupy Democrats. The paper sucked, but I realized that Breitbart's actual news reporting was largely factual. They didn't editorialize much, like a lot of garbage blogs do. I realized that instead of [I]telling[/I] you what to think (through editorializing), they framed their content in a way to [I]make[/I] you think a certain way. They'd report on some Muslim committing a crime, plainly stating facts, but leave out key details - like officers saying that it wasn't racially-motivated, or the Muslim community condemning the son, or whatever else. And they'd tie it to other crimes, linking together terrorist acts with a random crime, relying on people like you not investigating any further and taking them at face-value because you [I]"trust"[/I] them.
If you don't like this poll, go look at Rasmussen, which [I]consistently[/I] polls Republicans and conservatives higher than all other polls, and has been criticized time and time again by statisticians for poor and biased sampling. Trump's still at 43% total approval. [URL="http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/obama_approval_index_history"]Look at their approval history for Obama[/URL], and he was at 51% on this [B]exact[/B] day in 2009, his six-month approval rating. Even Rasmussen admits that Trump is more disliked than Obama six months in.
