That's a strawman if I've ever heard one. What does a fan poll have to do with knowledge of the broadcasting/media industry?

I said from the beginning I realize there are some "scientific" issues with the survey. I'm not sure where I ever denied the potential issues. All I said is that because the sample is 10 times greater than one of a scientific variety, I tend to think the sample biases that would otherwise exist are lessened a bit (read: not entirely). Clearly from the get-go I said I understood there may be problems with a scientific analysis of his survey but nonetheless don't think the survey as a whole is terribly misrepresenting of reality. Not sure how that has anything to do with an understanding of science, broadcasting or any other subject. It's simply a personal testament to the fact that nothing is perfect even in science...

But again... what does this article have to do with industry knowledge? You're just looking for ways to unload your ego as if you're the only one on this board that has any insights. I'm not sure what my opinions of this poll have anything to do with advertising, media, broadcasting, rights fees, knowledge of how government data is collected, etc.

Tone down the rhetoric a bit, and consider that perhaps there are others that know how things work. It's not a vacuum... there's not a monopoly on industry insights. Not sure what this poll has anything to do with the accusations you've made (incorrectly, might I add) about the BTN, ESPN, media contracts, cable operators and the like.
