The Hill hires Rasmussen's pollster, pretends it's independent

As you may know, every poll on the issues loses impact if it was conducted by conservative hack Scott Rasmussen, because he is...well, a conservative hack. This problem was circumvented today by the "independent" The Hill website, which just came up with a "Romney-loves-women-while-Obama-hates-them" type of poll. This word choice and the poll results struck me as suspicious, so I decided to do research on the pollster. It turns out it's "Pulse Opinion Research," the same pollster whose methodology is designed by......Scott Rasmussen! Twitter and right-wing blogs must be already swarming with "Independent The Hill poll finds..." types of posts, without mentioning the biased source. Rasmussen also attends Republican fundraisers for the GOP often.

1. The Hill is right wing, not indie.

2. yet most media won't report on PPP (which has an excellent track record) because it's supposed

to be a 'democratic' firm.

3. It's the same as a foxnews poll, 99.9% righty.

and Mr. Rasmussen and Roger Ailes buy lotto tickets together.
