Did they actually say, "This is the exact legal issue at stake", or are they not allowed to poll against any questions they want, even if dreamed up? Can they poll for instance on, "Is Adam allowed to criticize our polls" even though he is not in threat of inferred squelching?
Maybe those of us who see through this cloud also investigate issues ourselves, are more intelligent, and can help rally like-minded citizens to vote, thus allowing some level of sanity to persist, even if only noticeable over time. Of course the news is about generating revenue. I doubt that most news conglomerates were created out of the good will and intentions of portraying the most important topics as accurately as possible. For what it's worth, I am in favor of unbiased and fair news coverage and 100% truth in advertising. If you have not been proven to currently have the best taste in town, then you should be fined for making such a claim.
