Seriously! There's a poll going on as to whether Fox is full of shit. It was very heavily in Fox's favor before Pharungyla got onto it... now it's very nearly 50/50! BREAK THAT POLL, KIDDOS!!! www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2009/10/in_white_house_vs_fox_news_war.htmlTechnically I shouldn't be doing this, but my judgment at the moment is compromised. Blame Napoleon. Everything is his fault this week.  ETA: Ok a little more context. This poll has to do with the comments the White House administration made about Fox News and whether or not it's on the level. The choices are about what side you're on. No kidding! Literally it starts with "I'm siding with..." and then gives you your options. You can side with the White House, with Fox, or with nobody, saying you think both sides are just playing it up for the ratings. |

Voted, but methinks the server cannot handle the load. The page isn't loading any more for me D:

Found out that if you click the link to the poll instead of using the poll on the blog page itself, refreshing will resubmit another vote. Here is the link for those unsure what I mean. If one wants to skew it even further, yet feels too lazy (or is too busy) to keep manually refreshing the page, you can get the ReloadEvery addon for Firefox which will allow you to have the page refresh as often as you want.
Let this be a lesson to you all: if you want to have an internet poll that might actually mean something, require a login to vote and restrict it that way, not have a poll that doesn't even use cookies.ETA - I realised I was wrong, the poll is just really popular. |

It doesn't let you vote more than once. I tried it with the neither option 3 times the number never changed |

Did you use the poll on the blog's page, or follow the link to a page that was just the poll?
ETA - Further testing has yielded that no, it actually doesn't resubmit the vote to be counted in. There's just that many people voting that it's really hard to tell.

I'm supporting the White House, but I think it's perfectly true that Fox asks questions other networks don't and the White House should be able to handle them. And by "handle" I mean "point and laugh at".

Yeah, yeah. I voted.
I'm siding with the White House, 'cause all this looks like to me is the bully crying out because its target actually hit back.
