The NYT PULLS “Insensitive” Christine Blasey Ford Poll

The New York Times put this poll out:

And then IMMEDIATELY deleted it when they realized they weren’t getting the answers they wanted it was insensitive.

We’re sorry for this tweet. In retrospect, a Twitter poll is insensitive in light of the gravity of this hearing. We’ve deleted it. pic.twitter.com/4CqRhkuCat

Yeah, ok.

We also recognize that asking only about Dr. Blasey’s credibility was inappropriate. We had intended to tweet a second poll about Judge Kavanaugh’s credibility this afternoon.

Honestly… I don’t even care. I’m used to the NYT SUCKING.

The liberals, however, seem shocked:

How about not trivializing extremely important and complex issues in a freaking Twitter poll? Stop being part of the problem as it relates to the polarization of our country’s political discourse.

It sounds like your judgment is in question. The “Times” needs to clean house and restore the paper so some level of objectivity and respectability.

Why do either? Unscientific poll, limited sample, and inflammatory in nature. No reason to post this at all other than to gain clicks. That’s below the @nytimes

Is it, though? Is it really below them?

It’s inappropriate to refuse to investigate the facts and turn this into an OPINION POLL he-said she-said HEARING, why are you compounding that by making a *literal opinion poll* in a newspaper that is supposed to investigate the facts.

Thank you, NYT, for the daily affirmation of my decision to cancel my subscription.

OMG. it must be absolutely HEARTBREAKING when for once the media doesn’t perfectly line up with your narrative.

Do you think this paper is a joke
