        Definitely. Keep the heat on.

        Because they are STILL pumping out BS.

        Fox Dr. Marc Siegel cited the IDB/Tipp "poll" from last September. But that was just another self-selecting email inquiry - not a real poll. And he has no idea how many people responded, only the number that were sent the email.

        The fact that Siegel defends the partisan, unscientific Medicus and IDB nonsense, but dismisses an actual survey by the NEJM says all we need to know about Siegel.

          It must have something to do with his first name. There are a lot of professional liars out there with that first name - Mark Levin, his occasional fill-in Mark Simone, and two of Rush's fill-ins - Mark Billings and Mark Davis.

      It's not a scientific poll, yet they reported previously as if it was... interesting...

        And of course they have their "A-Team Medical" guy refuting the gal who said that it doesn't, in any way, meet the criteria of a scientific poll. Spin, spin, spin.

        Not a scientific poll, how can even put this data on the air? This would not pass muster in any real world situation, but I guess the motto is if it bolsters our case against the president - throw it out there.
