Parse this phrase:
From
CNN News
Nation split on Bush as uniter or divider
C'mon now -- who was the editor on that one...
The article refers to a telephone poll:
bq. Forty-nine percent of 1,007 adult Americans said in phone interviews they believe Bush is a "uniter," according to the CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll released Wednesday. Another 49 percent called him a "divider," and 2 percent had no opinion.
Of course, there is no mention of where the sample was taken from or who did the polling. They claim 95% accuracy but do not back this up with data.
Shades of
this technique.
