http://newsbusters.org/blogs/mark-finkelstein/2009/08/19/nbc-push-polling-obamacare Push Poll: technique in which an individual or organization attempts to influence or alter the view of respondents under the guise of conducting a poll.
By that definition, it sure seems that NBC is push polling on behalf of ObamaCare. On this morning's Today, NBC News Political Director and Chief White House Correspondent Chuck Todd reported on a new NBC poll that reflected the fact that, according to him, many Americans continue to believe "the myths" about ObamaCare. But Todd reported that the NBC pollsters also gave people "the facts" about ObamaCare. And after hearing those "facts," a majority supported the plan. Sounds like classic push polling.
And what were those "myths" that NBC supposedly busted? That ObamaCare:
Will give the government the power to cut off care for elderly.
Given that PBO questioned the wisdom of giving his own grandmother a hip replacement, why shouldn't Americans wonder about how the elderly will be treated?
Will pay for abortions.
Our sister organization CNSNews.com has reported that "Democrats in both the House and the Senate want abortion be included as a health benefit in both government and private insurance plans."
Will provide health insurance to illegal immigrants.
Given the restrictions Dems across the country have placed on immigration enforcement, does anyone seriously doubt that many illegals will sneak into ObamaCare?
By its push polling, NBC is not simply reporting the news—it is blatantly attempting to shape public opinion.

NBC's next push poll will probably be to convinece people that the Death Book never actually existed.

Lou says network didn't want to offend president: - Lou Dobbs said yesterday CNN was eager to show him the door because its top execs didn't want to offend President Obama.
Dobbs made the claim last night on Fox News Channel's "The O'Reilly Factor," saying he took on President George W. Bush's immigration policy with equal force but didn't draw any CNN flak then.
"I discern more of a difference between then, which was under the Bush administration when I was criticizing, and now, when it is the Obama administration -- and an entirely different tone was taken," said Dobbs.
He claims both Bush and Obama are soft on illegal immigration

Nobody knew or thought he was going to be running for the top office when those came out. Those books were looked at when he became a presidential candidate and were discussed.
Fair play!

The AP put two reporters on the Health Care bill Pelosi pushed through. Is your contention the AP did not know that this bill is important? 11 fact checkers for a book, and 2 for a bill that concerns 1/3 of our economy.

They used 11 fact checkers to go through Palin's book quicker not because it was more important. Much more time and resources are actually being spent on the health care bill. The two reporters are still on the bill while the fact checkers that spent maybe a couple of hours on Palin's book are not still on Palin.
Fair play!

Sorry, MEM, but I gotta roll with the them on this one. It isn't that I'm a huge Palin mark or anything, but the fact that they put 11 people on the job to fact check a book by PALIN!!!  I'm fairly sure it is full of enough lies, distortions and contradictions that all it would really take is two guys--tops--and search engine.

I'm fairly sure it is full of enough lies, distortions and contradictions that all it would really take is two guys--tops--and search engine. Palin's a hot topic and they put some resources into her book to fact check it quickly but comparing the short term allocations to long term ones is deceptive. It's ignoring the actual number of man hours put into each. The 2 reporters assigned to the health care bill will still be covering it while the 11 fact checkers were on that for how long? Probably less than a day.
Fair play!

MEM your being contradictory. first you say there were 11 fact checkers on Palin's book and none on Husseins because he wasnt considered a future candidate, so there was a need for 11 reporters assigned to Palin's book.
In the case of the healthcare bill you say there are 2 reporters but there is no hurry.
The fact is there was less than 3 days from the time Pelosi submitted the bill to the time the vote was taken. If Palin is running for President there is 3 years from publishing her book till she runs. Wouldn't it be more journalistically responsible to put 11 reporters on fleshing out the details of a bill this important before the vote, and 2 reporters however long they needed to fact check a book?
Which is more urgent in your mind, finding out details of legislation that impacts your life before it's voted on, or finding out details of a politicians book quickly?
Try to answer honestly, but if you can't it's ok.

It depends. Is the politician republican or democrat? What has Soros told me to think? Sincerely, Nambla Zick

... You're making a false comparison though. And actually there are probably more than just 2 reporters from the AP covering health care reform. I was going by what you said but what is the 2 reporter number being based on?
