Have you ever watched Ellerbee's reports on Nick News? It's left-wing nauseating. I have to stand there with my kids when it's on, infusing facts to counter what Ms. Ellerbee just said. I finally gave up and switch the channel whenever I see her massive head on the TV. Can you say "indoctrination"? I knew you could.

There was a scientific poll a while back that had Bush up among kids.

However, in this election cycle, who knows?

I think it not coincidental thta Linda Ellerbee was running the show. A look into her own political leanings should give you a fair indication of what's going on here.

Ahem. "and the rest of the country should pay attention because the vote on Nickelodeon's Web site has correctly chosen the president of the United States in the past four elections."

Nick.com has been around for 16 years? Impressive.

Scholastic has been wrong twice:
1948 - Dewey
1960 - Nixon

Both elections similar to this one.

Better to hold out for Weekly Reader since it doesn't rely on online voting like Scholastic.

The Scholastic poll went for Bush, and has been right almost every time since 1940. Forget which blog I saw that on today...

I wonder how many Move on members voted?

Except that I think the Nickelodeon poll was only of American kids.

Anyway, the big indicator is the Weekly Reader poll due out next week. That one has been right every go around since 1956.

Ooops...someone forgot to mention that Nickelodeon televises internationally. In fact, it's the #1 show for elementary aged girls in Canada...and is pretty highly rated in Latin America as well. I don't have the ambition to check what other nations get the channel...but the short story is that this is no different from the inane foreign polls that the media is trying to cram down our throats...
