LOL: Fox News forced to remind its news teams that online polls aren't real
This is the 2016 election, folks. The Republican candidate and the Republican network are touting heavily freeped online polls to pump themselves up after a debate loss.
http://www.businessinsider.com/fox-news-...dge-2016-9
Quote:A Fox News executive sent a memo Tuesday afternoon reminding television producers and the politics team that unscientific online polls "do not meet our editorial standards."
Dana Blanton, the vice president of public-opinion research at Fox News, explained in the memo obtained by Business Insider that "online 'polls' like the one on Drudge, Time, etc. where people can opt-in or self-select … are really just for fun."
At least three Fox News hosts cited unscientific online polls in the hours after Monday night's presidential debate to suggest Donald Trump emerged as the winner of the political showdown.

So what polls were right? Still laughing at those online polls?

Longroom.com was dead on.
And Kellyann COnway pretty much nailed it as well. She had been telling everyone in the days leading up to the election that there was trouble for Hillary because she could never get above 46%.

Longroom is back up and operational. It was a pity that some hackers took it offline. Maybe the libturds would have stared at it long enough to realize that it was correct and not been so surpised.
