MSNBC Polls Questioned?

Robert Owens pointed out this MSNBC link story. Here's the deal- MSNBC ran a poll and among the questions, was "Do you think MS Should be Broken Up" and (surprise) the majority voted yes. This is an article saying that polls are for entertainment and the results of the poll are worthless. Complete with links to other (older) but apparently more valid polls (guess the results). I find this hilarious- of course these polls are unscientific. Polls inherantly are- but when your parent company has egg on its face, you need to post an explanation. I don't claim to be impartial- I'm biased as heck, but no matter how many ways you angle it, 20,000 people voted that MS should be broken up. At MSNBC. I hope that raises eyebrows somewhere.
