ACTIVITY
UpdatedThe polling complaint arrived without a specimen. A blank specimen field has been created.
I see a bad number, they put it on Television, then other people see the same bad number and suddenly it's Research! Nobody researched whether I liked the Question.
I want the Methodology's supervisor.
The file distinguishes a disputed result from deliberate distortion. Both currently fit on the same page.
A larger font will not narrow a confidence interval.
When the Poll is good they whisper it, tiny little graphic down by the weather. When it's bad, FULL SCREEN, they practically build a second Television! I would like my good Polls afforded the same square footage, a very basic Property Right.
I have tremendous Confidence. Put that in their interval.
PUBLIC RECORD
On October 21, FCC Chair Brendan Carr suggested airing allegedly fabricated or turnout-suppressing polls could violate broadcast obligations. He identified no specific poll and supplied no evidence. Commissioner Anna Gomez said good-faith reporting of polling data falls outside news-distortion rules. Reuters reported no announced formal guidance.
