[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And if they are using landlines and that is so obviously flawed, why does the media carry on about these clearly inaccurate polls?[/quote]

It's a cheap story to write or produce. [/quote]

Cheap and easy. One of my most memorable meetings early in my career was with a family member of a prominent US publishing company. I was shepherding some opposition leaders around from a country under a press blackout. They were sharing their stories in a fairly understated way, including how one had recently survived an attempt to poison him. At some point the family member, who was sporting expensive, extensive gold bangles - maybe Cartier, started waving her arm about how she had not heard of these stories, so they must not be true. A lot of clinging sound with the bangles hitting each other. Another American in the room, formerly high up in diplomatic circles, turned to her and said, "that's because your reporter doesn't want to lose his visa, is also lazy, and reports from the bar."[/quote]
