Hinchey Proves Media Interference By Example
Hinchey staffer Daniel Ahouse admits to purposefully spiking a poll in Hinchey's favor by lobbying liberal Web sites to vote in the congressman's favor about Hinchey's theory that Karl Rove was behind the CBS News fake documents scandal.
Blogs on both the left and right were apparently responsible for greatly increasing the sample size of the poll, but only Hinchey's staff was caught trying to manipulate the data.
The normal sample size for online polls at the Kingston NY Daily Freeman is normally 500-2,000 responses over the course of a week. This manipulated Hinchey poll tallied 41,281 total responses.
Now that his staffers admit culpability, will Hinchey launch an investigation upon himself?
