Who are you trying to kid? One only need to consult the New York Times story to see who is really being deceptive. As it so happens, the Times laid out it's methodology, see it at http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/21/health/policy/21mbox.html?_r=1&ref=policy. The first couple paragraphs makes O'Reilly's claims unlikely:

"The latest New York Times/CBS News Poll is based on telephone interviews conducted from June 12 to June 16 with 895 adults throughout the United States.

The sample of land-line telephone exchanges called was randomly selected by a computer from a complete list of more than 69,000 active residential exchanges across the country. The exchanges were chosen so as to ensure that each region of the country was represented in proportion to its population."

How, considering the randomization of the process could the Times skew "the polling by offering the questions to mostly Obama voters?" Perhaps O'Reilly could explain that to us? Or explain why he avoided the fact that the poll still showed a higher percentage of those willing to accept a tax increase than the percentage of Obama voters in spite of his contention the poll was skewed?
