Poll: Majority of GOP agrees news media is 'enemy of the people'

Actually it is.

It is involves several fallacies at one time.

1. ad populim. It argues on the basis that these many people agree or disagree therefore it must be true. the fact is the people polled amount to like .0004%
of the population.

2. projection fallacy. Next it takes those .0004% of people polled and projects it to the other 99.9996% of people that weren't polled.

3. Paintbrush fallacy is what people like you do.

so no there is a very strong case that polls are in fact some polls are very much logical fallacies.
this is an issue that i have with polls in general.

That's nice. I expect to never see you ever cite a poll then in the future due to your disdain for them right? ALL polls mmmkay?

You may as well ask how many punters the Boston Red Sox carry on their roster. That would make just as much sense as your question.

Are you implying that the GOP is a baseball team? They are not. They are a political party in the good ole US of A.

Which makes as much sense as you implying the GOP in Congress has a military force. And that was the point to get you to see.

as usual your continued use of fallacies continue.
The only polling that i actually view is aggregate polling and that is still with skepticism.

Even that is not accurate as the last election proved.
but you at least eliminate the bias and you get a broader picture than just 1 poll that polled 1k people.

as they say lies, damn lies, and statistics.

i would suggest reading on up paintbrush and projection fallacies it will help you make a better topic next time.
somehow i doubt you will because without those your argument is weak.

Now you're just continuing to act like a child.

I honestly don't know why I thought you could actually rise above for once.

Let it go. You made a stupid mistake just to try and get your hack on and you claimed capitalism was a matter of begging. Let it go.

Nope. Not at all.

If you go back and read the entire conversation between he and I, you will see he can't let it go. He said WaPo was failing. I showed how their profitability has been skyrocketing since Bezos bought the paper.

So instead of acknowledging he was wrong, he shifted the goal posts and then came up with the retort that WaPo charging to view their site (having a paywall) is "begging" for cash and was implying it wasn't a form of capitalism for them to charge for a service. He failed miserably and for days now cannot let it go.

I don't even like newspapers having a paywall but its not "begging" to charge for it. It's capitalism. It's their business model to charge to read... I'm not a fan of that business model for newspapers... but them's the facts.

Yet you seem to keep opting out everything I've said to explain such a simple aspect to an extent that even someone of your caliber could understand.

It seems I've overestimated you once again.
