Sure sheds a whole new light on 'polls'. Is that a typo in this headline, or did they actually so drastically incorrectly state "$1M for a year's license"? If so, my hunch is that the other options of $500/game etc. were not presented either when polling. Can't wait to find out :-) www.hockeytheme.com Wow. Sure sheds a whole new light on ‘polls’.

An executive from Harris Decima earlier stated that there was no client for this poll - when asked about the suspicious questions and whether it was a cbc funded poll. The results are pretty amazing considering the cbc's own poll at the time showed something like 90% against the cbc decision. The majority of news stories and blogs were extremely crititical of the cbc. Of course for those that work in communications/marketing know full well - semantics are a godsend for spinning results. You can ask the same question a number of ways and get very different results. Anyone with half a brain who looks at the questions asked can tell this poll was loaded. What i find intriguing is that Harris Decima apparently with "no client" posed questions in a such a way that this result was practically guaranteed. I have a feeling only a Patty Hewes type of "Damages" is sufficient to untangle this web. So the client was the Canadian press?
