Huh? You want to "balance" the result? Screw what people actually think, it has to be "balanced" so that one side doesn't get its feelings hurt?
This is the crap that that joke of a network, Fox, tries to palm off as legitimate. News isn't "balanced." Journalism is more than playing bad stenographer, parroting the old, "There are some who say," method, never actually naming anybody, and pretending that there is some sort of equivalency to what people have to say.
Yes, yes..."But they hacked the poll!" I hear you whine. Too bad. The solution is not to "hack it back." It's to abandon it. Besides, online polls, especially ones where they let you vote multiple times, are hardly the best way to gauge public opinion.
And even then, since when did popular opinion have any connection to reality? Are you saying creationism becomes true simply because a bunch of people with absolutely no training in biology think it is?

Thank you for your submission to
Science. Your paper was reviewed by a jury of seventh graders so that they could look for balance and to allow them to make up their own minds. We are sorry to say that they found your paper "bogus," specifically describing the section on the laboratory work "boring." We regret that we will be unable to publish your work at this time.
