   So, I went to go find this poll……… its linked to the “talking points” link in the Salon article.

   CNN, talking heads, and Salon are again, showing themselves to be the lying American bashing scumbags that they always are.

   Here’s a bit of irony…… from the blathering points article…..Ed Note: An earlier version of this post incorrectly reported CPB’s portion of the federal budget as approximately one-tenth of one percent. It is in fact approximately one one-hundredth of one percent. <——– a$$bags even had a chance to look it up and still couldn't get it right, but they're going to bash "average" Americans that didn't have the opportunity to check. Nice.

   There were only 508 people asked the question about Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Yeh, that's right 500 pinheads not smart enough to get off of the phone are the ones they asked. Salon doesn't mention it, TPM gives the larger poll number of 1,023. Its wrong.

   The information released by the poll doesn't break it down in such terms. The answers are show in <1%, 1-5% of those 2 responses, 67 % answered. The median of the 508 poll was 5%.

   The poll itself is very curious. I followed the link, http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2011/images/03/31/rel4m.pdf The questions start at #39 ……. wtf? Were prior questions disqualifying questions? My bet is that they were, probably why only 1/2 were asked the question.

   And then there's the oddity of a font change after the start of the pdf. Starts on page 4. Doctored?

     Wow, you did your research. I would also like to see #1-38.

   Whatever percentage of the fed budget that NPR & CPB get it’s that percentage too much.

     Just a Joe,

     Of course, having actual intelligent media would undermine our descent to complete illiteracy. it is so confusing having programming that causes people to think.

       What would we ever do without the daily dollop of state funded democrat talking points and “free” campaign adverts for the liberal progressive?

       Why we’d have to rely on Soros for our political fiction.

   Exactly what people in America did they ask to get this tidbit?
