Tucker Carlson .Fired!

So Nicki Haley started the late term abortion debate up again a bit today. One of my pet peeves are people and especially the media using a statistical trick to support a position. So it is being reported that 62-80% (Depending on the poll) of Americans support most or all abortions to fight the argument against late term elective abortions. Do you see the trick used to defend late term abortions?

as a person who works with numbers all day never trust percentages; we manipulate % in power points all the time to stress a point

example

67% of folks enjoy shit in their chicken

oh wow! that is weird

well only 3 people were asked and 2 of them enjoyed the shit; oh by the way the 3 people asked were clinically insane

Are you saying that 60% of the time the percentage(s) are manipulated every time?

100% of the time. All polls and stats can be manipulated to one side or the other.


50% of those polled say the glass of water is half empty. By the way only two people were polled. Makes that poll 100% true and honest.

No, Fox News had the abortion.

They oughtta make a banner at the front desk of HQ that says "no one person is bigger than the company."

Tucker thought he was untouchable.

My fault thought I was in the media thread when I started this.

Just bothers me. 91% of abortions occur in the first thirteen weeks and saying most Americans support those is an accurate statement. But they report it like this in the news "most Americans support most or all abortions - still an accurate statement because they do support most abortions. However a vast majority don't support all abortions they just are tucking that bit in with what most do support. (Apologize for posting this in the wrong thread).

I mean I think most reasonable Americans would agree the only third trimester abortions that should be allowed are ones where the infant or mother's life is in danger. I thought the old method of allowing abortions up to 20-25 weeks (I would support real science/medicine on the matter and not faux-political scientists with an agenda) was fine but obviously there are certain hardliners really pushing the agenda now. Some prominent anti-abortion group with over a million members is pushing Trump to commit to a national ban, otherwise they won't support him.

Most American's would agree (although they'd want an earlier cut off than the 3rd). But that is my point the media won't report that, and on the contrary will imply most support all abortions (by bundling in all abortions with most abortions). Unfortunately, the Dems position is now all abortions (which is probably why the media report the story like they do).
