The Trouble with Polls

73% of Canadians believe Paul Martin was somewhat or very responsible for AdScam...
But you wouldn't know any of this from the highly selective reporting of this poll last week by the CBC, which commissioned it, and by other media, who, incredibly, portrayed it as a positive finding for Martin. (For alerting me to this controversy, I'm indebted to blogger "Michael" of Winnipeg, who first wrote about it Sunday on his website, bluemapleleaf.blogspot. com).

Is this the beginning of an alternative media coming to life in this country similar to the one in full bloom in the US?

I hope so.
