Reply #25: The media paid 10 million for... [View All]

....a exit poll and they got one. The 'raw data' you mention are the exit poll raw numbers. Raw exit poll numbers are one thing, and the exit poll is another. Many people conflate the two which is incorrect. While the media did pay for the raw numbers, they hold very little value for them. The media is after the actual exit poll, which enables them to say things like "In the midwest, hispanic voters voted 2 to 1 for Kerry."

You may ask, how can the exit poll be of any use if the raw numbers from which it is derived are not accurate ? There's an answer - use google.

The bottom line is simply this: The exit poll raw numbers can't be used the way some here on DU are attempting to use them. because of this, most of the 'analysis' done by DU posters seems to be void of any value. The media understands that the raw numbers are meaningless because they've been paying for exit polls for years. This helps to explain why they aren't covering the fraud angle.

I've read the analysis on DU and I have read Mystery Pollster. Sorry, TIA, MM outranks you.
