They were surprised by the results?

They chose John Kerry and George Bush as their control terms. You can't mention either name in a group of people without ideological responses, and they expected less in terms of news reports?

Equal Representation

05/24/2005 8:33 AM

Google can't control what people are saying or who is saying it or how many of them are saying it! If people think that they aren't being represented in the right light I suggest they get a blog or a website and start typing.
