ABC News is alleging that "The majority of Americans are not in favor of the strikes on Iran."

I read the article thoroughly, looking for the source of the information. All it says is "Source: The Washington Post."

So I tried to check The Washington Post to find out what their source is, and it just says "We texted 1000 Americans," but there's no information about:
* who the people are
* how they got their phone numbers
* how they knew they were textable numbers
* how they verified American citizenship

The lack of details makes me wonder if there was any survey actually taken. Even Alex is taking our side on this.

It's well known that most conservatives simply don't answer those polls.

So they texted 990 Leftoids and 10 Conservatives.

It's just another fake survey.

It definitely is. And since they don't explain things, it's only right to infer that:

* They got 1000 textable phone numbers from their subscriber base
* Holy crap, at least 1000 people subscribe to that crap
* Those surveyed had opted-in for surveys
* Anyone who subscribes to Washington Post is 2x the leftoid
* 10% of their subscriber base accidentally subscribed

I didn't even notice that detail, but yea, that just takes away even more credibility from it.
