Leading Questions

Humpday, 23 Betteroff 2005

We saw this question on the Conservative News Network's front page this morning:

Who should control the internet?

Private sector
Non-profit group
International body
Government agency

... and we couldn't help noticing that the choice of Nobody was missing from the list. Actually, there are a number of these Quick Vote questions that are somewhat lacking in appropriate choices to vote for.

[rhetorical questions] Why do the corpo-weasels over at CNN do this sort of thing? Could they possibly be trying to influence the mindset of those who peruse their pages towards taking the view that the internets need to be controlled? And further, possibly they may be trying to influence our melons regarding which groups should even be considered for this controlling position? [/rhetorical questions]
