Fine, but what is the exact point of that "factiod"? Anonymous visitors to a particular web site (their ages? Incomes? Geographic distribution? Educational attainment?) voted a certain way. So what? By repeatedly citing this "poll," you are in essence implying it is somehow "meaningful".
Problem is, it isn't - ABC may care about "representing" the attitudes of the visitors to their afterthought version of a news website, but at least they have the sense to admit polls there aren't "scientific," which is layperson code for "results are not projectable," which to knowledgable readers translates into "useless."
Instead, we'll wait for real research on this by entities like Gallup and Roper.
I never got involved in any discussion of that tangent, so I don't know why you're even referring to it. The issue here was the media public release of the so-called "manifesto," not the investigate assessment.
And here's a message to ABC (and certain others) from VT:

Why do media outlets even bother we these unofficial polls? Simple - Because they can be interesting.
I'm not sure why you are so intent on arguing this to death. Do you have any doubt that when we get some scientific poll results on this question that they'll show that most people disapprove of what the media did with those tapes?
I don't.
We'll see.
