you be my focus group.
If I made a zine/postseries about exit polls next week, would people would want to read it, or is that topic too depressing to grab folks' attention?
A couple of years ago I wrote a long paper about exit polling. See, in Serbia 2000 and Ukraine 2004, discrepancies between exit polls and official polls led people to say EXIT POLLS ARE A HARD SCIENCE, THIS IS THE EVIDENCE THAT THE GOVT IS FULL OF LYING CROOKS, UKRAINIANS AND SERBIANS SHOULD POOL IN THE STREETS AND OVERTHROW THEIR OVERLORDS! And they did.
Meanwhile, when there were exit poll discrepancies in Venezuela 2004 and the United States 2004, many of the same "scientists"/"pundits" said AH WELL EXIT POLLS ARE REALLY JUST A SORT OF IMPRESSIONISTIC ARTISTIC THING DESIGNED TO HELP THE MEDIA DO PROJECTIONS, FORGET ABOUT IT, TAKE OFF YOUR TINFOIL HATS WEIRDOES, and everyone said "oh," and made a ham sandwich and went to watch "Law and Order."
I took apart that clock and peered at its cogs and coils, and now am ready to regurgitate the information I consumed.
yes/no?
