msgtpain...
How would you conduct such a survey? Mediamatter's point with all this was to attempt the utmost unpartiality in this survey. Carrying out a survey based on such subjective issues would result in something ridiculous enough to be heralded on the O'Reilly Factor.

My point was, this "survey", in my opinion, is completely meaningless... If I could pull statistics to "prove" to you that universities taught liberal ideology because 80% of the professors were liberals, would you agree? or would you insist that I prove that their "political affiliation" influenced what they actually said in their classrooms?
This scenario is no different... You can have 100 Republicans on your show, but if you tell everyone of them that you simply can't believe what they are trying to do, and try to get them to "see your point", then the actual view of that show isn't really Republican, is it?.. Without the content, this survey is meaningless.
