Who did Tawney pick for VP?

Publically, he's saying he's just starting the selection process

[Jovuistan]

Ah, Veep debate polls are just... *chef's kiss*

According to https://6abc.com/vice-presidential-debate-2020-winner-kamala-harris-mike-pence/6820636/ Pence won the debate

Who's gonna tell em how easy it is to rig internet polls?

[Louisianan]

If you ever have any Cajun culture questions, I'm your guy.

Best Cajun food?

Gumbo/Crawfish Etoufee and Jambalaya top three. 9Boudin and Cracklins are good too)

Where else would the polls come from???? The debate happened a few hours ago, no true polls have been taken yet I don't think. We stopped talking about this so instead of being an ass could you do what the rest of us are trying to do, change the subject????

Also, Cush Cush is good, it's a breakfast food, to basically fry cornmeal and then put it in milk.

CNN did. Multiple sources have done scientific polls already.

I am never going to CNN or FOX to look at polls. Both are completely biased

[Sarenium]

How humbling it is to lose an election.

Yet how empowering to lose by less than 50 votes!

CNN has a B+ rating according to fivethirtyeight, so idk about the bias.

That and the fact that they have a mean-reverted bias of D+0.0

Tawney may run? it’s time to start plotting

Tawney never said such thing, you may think that, but the President has never confirmed such a decision either publicly or in private.

I don't care, CNN doesn't say anything good about republicans or trump, and fox doesn't say anything good about the democrats, I call that bias.

According to this definition of bias, nobody in their right mind would say that CNN and FOX are not biased. They obviously are, in my opinion, the news media should be bipartisan and unbiased.

That's a nice definition but that's not how it relates to this poll. There is no reason to believe this poll is not legitimate unless you want to deny reality. The pollster, based on an analysis of over 100 polls they've conducted,
has a bias rating of D+0.0, which means that in this case any form of bias would have to present itself in the way the poll is being reported on, it's results are still legitimate. It seems to me you are just angry and try to build a narrative of false impartiality by discrediting both Fox and CNN in order to promote your point of view.

Being passive aggressive doesn't change the reality of the situation, people involved with polling for years and years are saying the pollster behind this poll can be trusted. Not sure what makes you qualified to try and take the moral high ground.

While I do agree CNN have an anti-Trump slant, it's pretty misleading to say they have an anti-Republican slant - they did have pro-Iraq War coverage at the height of the war under Bush 43 iirc

Also it's important to note that these polls aren't exactly conducted by Ted Turner or Chris Cuomo. It's a third party entity doing it for CNN.

That too. A news source simply presents a poll, rather than conducting it.

How am I taking the moral high ground???? I am not going to listen to any news coverage or a poll shown by a news coverage who constantly bash Trump. I am not going to listen to any news coverage or poll shown by a news coverage who constantly bash Biden. How am I "build[ing] a narrative of false impartiality" when it comes to the media they should be impartial. CNN for instance in 2016, "TRUMP CANNOT WIN AND HE WILL NOT WIN, HILLARY HAS THIS" I dislike Trump and I dislike Biden but in my opinion, Trump is the lesser of two evils. I am not angry, and I am trying to promote a point of view that media should be impartial. What have I done wrong here? I never said the poll was illegitimate I simply said that the news coverage that did the poll has been biased towards one candidate. I personally watch and trust ABC. That is how I choose to get my media coverage, people running the country should be bipartisan to help all American people, but neither party is even attempting this, and neither is the news media.
