But the CNN "poll" is enough to shock even the most jaded among us. Not because the sock puppet TV "personalities" (yawn) hate Paul--that's a given. No, what's shocking is that they'd expect anyone whose brain grew beyond an atrophied stem to believe that you could find 54 people not one of whom thought Ron Paul won the debate when the expected value is more like 41 (75%).
Assuming that CNN didn't flat-out create its poll out of whole cloth--and the ridiculously low sample number, 54, suggests that they didn't--one can only wonder where a collection of 54 morons could have been assembled at one time and in one place.
The only answer I can come up with is the front office of CNN itself. While Wall Street and the Fed routinely set new low standards--and then spectacularly fail to achieve them--even they produce a winner now and again.
Also telling is the gutter-level regard in which CNN holds its own viewership. They ought to be lashed.
