Don't you think that the fact you know how many complaints were levied and such is a sign of openess and transparency? How many were levied against the other outlets? I frankly have no idea (and don't really care), but just because someone complains doesn't mean they aren't open and transparent.

If we're going to flail Harper about his integrity, then don't you think we should judge this on a level ground, or at least wonder where the information gained from the Compass is going.

And thank you, I've had a miserable week and you actually made me smile with the open and transparent activities of the CBC, who are in fact more closed and guarded and secretive then a meeting by the Bilderberg group or whatever you call it when they have their annual meeting with the leadership of the Free Masons.
I think that you guys are mistaking "agreeing with you" with "openess and transparency.

The funny thing to me is this: lets go along with the theory that this produces more Liberal results than the others. The reason isn't because its skewed. its because on most of the issues (which seem to be the main issues that the parties are ALL campaigning on) people simply don't care that much!

The other thing you have to accept is that when almost everyone in this thread does the survey and factors in the areas that they care/don't care about it seems pretty accurate. if the methodology is that horrible then you have throw those results out as well, right? You can't have it both ways IMO.
