More on CNN's Poll

I presume CNN did not like the results it got on last night's question: "should pictures of hostages be broadcast", which was overwhelmingly "yes", because they're out with a new poll this morning that simply twists the first:

    Does the media coverage of hostages in Iraq encourage the kidnappers?


This, of course, has 83% of respondents saying, "Yes!"

Perfect example of the framing of a question to get the results you want vs. the results you don't.
