Let me explain by showing you the poll.
Here is the poll question and the possible list of answer choices.
Should the president's health care overhaul plan be passed?
1. Yes, as it is
2. No
3. Yes, but it shouldn't be rushed
4. Not as it stands now
Alternatively, here is the screen shot I took.
The thing is, there is no presidential bill yet to overhaul health care. The House and Senate are each working on various aspects of health care reform with their own bills. There is no single plan on the table.
Will someone explain answer choices 1 and 4 to me then? Which bill are we leaving as is? Since no single bill currently exists, "Not as it stands now" is certainly not possible.
Did somebody forget how the legislative and executive branches of government work?
Have the folks at KSLA discovered time travel and jumped ahead into the future?
It seems quite a few people are uninformed. Talk about a sad day for journalism. Thing is, it slipped right by the person typing it on the teleprompter as well as the anchor who read it out loud.
KSLA sucks. KTAL sucks. KTBS sucks. We don't have one decent news station in this area. It's times like these when I'm glad I can at least listen to NPR during the day instead of these chuckleheads. It's bad enough we have a ton of misinformation out there. Now even our news outlets need fixing. Yes, KSLA has been notified by phone regarding this poll and its inaccuracies.
I expect that kind of thing from those who are trying to spread misinformation or who are low on information themselves, but not from a news program that is not a Fox affiliate. Then again, I am wondering why here in DC the local NBC station mentioned Sarah Palin's opinion in connection with the reform effort. Was it too hard to get in touch with people actually making the decisions?
