Homestead mailing list

[bob ford <bobford79 AT yahoo.com>]

I just went to that site.  He doen't deny the Zogby story, just briefly says 
that Zogby uses "non-sensical" filelds.  I though Gallup and Zogby were the 
two biggest polling outfits with the best reputations?  

The media has lost almost all credibilty already.  The MSM is a joke.  If 
McCain wins, then to me, the polling outfits will be included with the MSM.  
I'll never trust anything any of them says again.  I need to find 
'legitimate' alternative news sites .....bobford
