Newsmax, the conservative "news" site, is conducting "an urgent national online poll" regarding Ann Coulter and her new book, Godless: The Church of Liberalism.
<snip>
Amazingly, when you submit your answers, you are taken to this page, which features an advertisement allowing you to buy Godless for $4.99, or $23 below the retail price. You also get a free four-month trial subscription to NewsMax Magazine -- which you are then expected to renew and renew and renew.
Could you imagine the reaction from NewsMax or other "conservative media" if the New York Times or Washington Post were to publish a poll that was conducted with a tie-in to buy the product? How loudly would "conservative media" scream if, for example, a CBS News poll were conducted about President Bush's popularity, with participants able to receive a discount on Michael Moore's Farenheit 9/11? Isn't what NewsMax is doing the very definition of "bias"?
