A new website has been launched which looks at the media’s role in the election of Obama. Called howobamagotelected.com the site alleges that Obma got elected because the news media failed to do their job.  Malpractice was the term they used, and it Malpractice by the Media; How Obama Got Elected is the name of the documentary that the people behind the site are putting out.  I guess these guys are right wing Michael Moores.

The video is fascinating.  Check it out.

The site also commissioned a telephone survey which verifies the results of the video interviews. Rightly or wrongly, the American people have made their judgement on Palin and the Republicans and its all pervasive.  I guess they can blame Tine Fey and SNL. 

 

Zogby Poll

512 Obama Voters 11/13/08-11/15/08 MOE +/- 4.4 points 

97.1% High School Graduate or higher, 55% College Graduates

Results to 12 simple Multiple Choice Questions

57.4% could NOT correctly say which party controls congress (50/50 shot just by guessing)

81.8% could NOT correctly say Joe Biden quit a previous campaign because of plagiarism (25% chance by guessing)

82.6% could NOT correctly say that Barack Obama won his first election by getting opponents kicked off the ballot (25% chance by guessing)

88.4% could NOT correctly say that Obama said his policies would likely bankrupt the coal industry and make energy rates skyrocket (25% chance by guessing)

56.1% could NOT correctly say Obama started his political career at the home of two former members of the Weather Underground (25% chance by guessing).

And yet…..

Only 13.7% failed to identify Sarah Palin as the person on which their party spent $150,000 in clothes

Only 6.2% failed to identify Palin as the one with a pregnant teenage daughter

And 86.9 % thought that Palin said that she could see Russia from her “house,” even though that was Tina Fey who said that!!

Only 2.4% got at least 11 correct.

 

Only .5% got all of them correct. (And we “gave” one answer that was technically not Palin, but actually Tina Fey)
