Censored: Ron Paul in Telephone Polls

9 July 2008 Comments Written by: Andrew Slominski

Below is a short and fun clip about how Ron Paul support was not measured in a popular Republican phone poll during the primaries. It is followed by a fun clip from Penn & Teller.

Just a clarification note about the Penn & Teller clip. I do not endorse swearing at pollsters, nor do I believe that ALL polls are biased. Exit polls are very reliable and when they differ significantly from the official results then an official inquiry into vote fraud should be initiated immediately.

I liked the first part, but Penn and Teller got outta control. The swearing really prohibits a complete understanding and respect for what they are saying. On the on hand...it lets you know that they are angry and mean business.

Clips like this really help people understand the media blackout of Ron Paul (regardless of whether they actually would believe in him as a candidate).
Things like this are key, because I think it will help people to realize that the media is capable of picking the president. Early on, it was made a race between Hillary and Obama, because I think the media thought that was the most "fun" somehow...

Yeah, Penn and Teller are in it for the shock value. Their show isn't very scientific. In fact, in one of their shows they dismissed ALL bottled water as bad just because SOME bottled water had SOME amount of bad stuff in it. They didn't even say how much or whether there was more or less than in tap water.

A good laugh, but don't let them rule your perception of the world.
