Let's take a poll on the value of polls.

As you may know I detest the lazy media. And one of the ways in which they are laziest is with these meaningless time-and-space filling polls. One of the latest has supposedly found that Americans are more likely to view Putin as a strong leader. Duh. Yes, I would think they would find a dictator who sends troops in at the blink of an eye to menace a peaceful country a stronger leader than a president who wouldn't think of doing such a thing. Is this really worth reporting? Now that they have this idiotic poll, they can waste time with other statistics like President Obama's favorability numbers are higher than Putin's, and eat up more time listing figures when they could be working on real news. But real news takes effort and money, so how about we do a poll on whether Americans prefer mashed potatoes or french fries?
