Not content with the pronouncements from self-appointed judges of the public mind, in the void of established research data, Dan Froomkin wonders what the public really thinks about censure. And he suggests taking a poll. He refers to a post by the Mystery Pollster, who observes that a threshold has now been crossed, whereby the criteria that pollsters claim to require when considering whether to include a topic in national news media polls has been met. (It was mentioned in all the major 'mainstream' newspapers and at least two cable news networks (CNN and Fox).)
