Polling Rule: Impartiality!

A blogsite offered a poll on AB2072. It is no brainer. Most of the commenters will poll in favor for it because the blog owner is in favor of AB2072.

The rule of the site hosting a poll is IMPARTIALITY! The site has to be neutral on the issue, the bill, the commenters, and so on. This blogsite is decidedly not neutral.

Hence the poll is nullified due to the lack of impartality, compromising the integrity of the poll. This is not the first time this blog owner hosted a poll when there is a controversy going on. The outcome of the poll was always predictable which is why I said this is no brainer.

The purpose of a poll is to collect percentage of pollsters on a certain issue on which the community is divided on to give an idea of the possible outcome of the passage of the bill. So, the host has to be neutral hence why most poll hosts are the media - newspapers, TV News, telemarketers, and so on.

A non-impartial host may tamper with the polling results or get an inaccurate result because his/her "fans" are reflections of the host.

Granted, a poll could not possibly be 100% impartial, however, it is essential for the host to be neutral to give integrity to the poll and confidence in the result of a poll.

  1. This blogger that set up the poll has no integrity.

    He is well known to associate with Paotie and is part of the deaf detractor group with Candy, Russell Errgio(Porno film maker), White Ghost, Barry Sewell to divide the Deaf community.

    It is time for the Deaf community to tell them to stop and get a life.

  2. Right on, Deaf!

    At least, many deaf people voted NO to the AB 2072. :)

    Oh Gosh, Barry Sewell was so disrespectful toward John Ebgert!

  4. The poll at Mike's blog is surprising, a lot of people are voting big FAT No on AB 2072. Cool!! Mike is going to have to swallow his pride. As for BS mocking John Ebgert, why isn't DeafRead doing something about it as it is a form of bullying.. Shame on Deafread for ignoring this...

  5. At least Mcaconnell isn't fixing the results leaving it to embarrass himself and others but yet they keep saying it's because we are stupid. Poor losers, eh? Anyway, I loved the picture of u and the white boxer - Deaf? I got one and she's amazingly wonderful!

  6. Ella, finally! Someone identified my dog as a white boxer and not a pit bull! I get this question often - deaf? No. She has brown eyes and no pink pigment on her skin. When I saw her at the animal shelter, that was what I first looked for and knew she was not deaf. However, it is common for white boxers to be born deaf and mine happened not to be.

    Yeah, Ella - I wrote a post earlier about this group - McDonnell, Sewell, and Candy - blogging on how stupid we are. I truly am amazed they are actually OK with this bill despite their backgrounds.
