MSNBC’s Meier Misleads Viewers on NSA Poll Results (VIDEO)

By Ian on Liberal Lies

(h/t reader CIR)

On the 10am hour of MSNBC Live, anchor Randy Meier read a Washington Post/ABC News poll that asked “Is collecting phone records acceptable?”. 63% of the respondents said yes, compared to 35% of the respondents saying no. Then he spoke of a poll on MSNBC.com that asked readers “Would it bother you if there was a record of your phone calls?”. The visual on the screen said the response was 34%, Yes, 66%, No. However, Meier read it as: “76% responded yes, and 24% responded no”. The visual was referring to another Washington Post/ABC poll that did yield the results shown on screen, but incorrectly stated by the anchor. Meier was referring to an MSNBC.com poll, with completely opposite results than what was presented on the screen. This just goes to show the bias shown on MSNBC is represented by their audience who thinks completely different than the average American does.
