When you live on television doing a poll, you formulate your question correctly, that much is clear. You need as questioner remain neutral, but this news anchor of the Brazilian television can not hide his dislike for street protests that erupted earlier this month in Brazil. What he gets is the opposite of what he expected and wanted. He formulates the question again, because “maybe people do not understand.” Even after he starts to stutter and the director of the poll rest on 0 votes for and 0 votes against, he gets the same result in: an overwhelming majority supports the protests with violence

.

Earlier this week, in a dozen cities in Brazil the army deployed against the demonstrators. The reason for the protests was raising prices for public transport, but the protest has now directed against the corruption, poor education and health services and the high cost of living.

With vandalism so
The poll wanted the broadcaster clearly show that a majority of viewers are against the violent protest, with windows of banks and shops were killed.

“I am against riot “, insert the new anchor ashore. “I do not participate. Do not count on me, you know? Protests must peacefully expired. Without vandalism, without blocking streets”.

“A lot of people who are tired of violent protests,” continues he in an attempt to create the mood. “Are you for or against this form of protest. Protest so with vandalism”.

understand? When
soon found that the majority approves of this form of protest, asking news anchor whether the relevant question is well formulated. He also expresses his amazement: “The majority is vandalism fine The voice of the people must be heard, I do not … I just give my opinion I think the vandalism Vandalism is I would vote no!..”.

Moments later the results are switched back to 0-0, but a second attempt to reverse the opinion of the people turns into an embarrassing failure. Until the man gives up: “Get that poll here but away”
