George Takei 
🏳️🌈🖖🏽The reason we shouldn’t trust poll numbers is because the outfits running them are often biased. The news is filled with citations from a recent poll by the Wall Street Journal, that bastion of impartiality. Turns out, they included 600 GOP primary voters in their sample, and it was run by an outfit called Fabrizio Lee. Tony Fabrizio worked with Paul Manafort in Ukraine to support the Russian-backed president there. We’re being punked. H/T Mueller, She Wrote.
Thomas Traynor@georgetakei when I took statistics in college the prof dedicated a number of classes on how to game the system. Picking populations with goals in mind, framing the questions, playing with data to skew results. Loved the courses as he made it relevant and fun. Good enough that I was one of a few who helped tutor others.
