    Admit you believe the crapola you absorb from Fucks Nooz. Or admit you're a chickenshit liar.

    Only one of the two is going on trial multiple times in the near future.

    What's this Premise poll? A smartphone app with "opt-in panel members"?

    I see Premise is helping promote Georgian wine in the US. The
    central Asian Georgia.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgian_wine

    Gotta hand it to them: 8000 years of viticulture. Earthenware vessels
    with beeswax back in the day.

    Back to the Premise.

    https://www.premise.com/solutions/international-development/

    Hmm. Humanitarian Aid & Food Security...

    https://www.premise.com/solutions/international-development/how-to-use-premise-for-surveys/

    "...our network of five million app users, whom we call ‘Contributors’, serve as an opt-in survey panel. You can survey these panelists using
    quotas targeted based on the population’s age, gender, and geographic composition. Second, an average of 20% of our Contributors also complete enumeration tasks, and this portion of our network can be tasked with conducting face-to-face interviews."

    Applies to "low and middle-income countries."

    If they do 'enumeration tasks' I suppose you can count on their results.

    The betting class has spoken and Trevor see it as one dollar....one vote.

    BTW, I see (cuz my granddaughter was her for a few days) that Disney has graced our TV screens
    with an Australian cartoon, Bluey.
    What a ridiculous piece of crap. 50s style graphics.....horrid music...awful pointless story.
    No wonder you're so f'd up. Raised on comics like that.

    **Fair enough. Again: The people who know tell us that Bluey is pretty good:

    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7678620/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_4_nm_4_q_bluey

    A 9.5 is quite rare in IMDB. Then there are these awards:

    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7678620/awards/?ref_=tt_awd

    So, some people seem to reckon it's pretty good. I happen to agree that
    it is fine viewing for young children.

    As for graphics, I suggest you take a look at another, very excellent,
    cartoon:

    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0121955/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_7_nm_1_q_south%2520park

    It seems that really crappy graphics are no impediment to popularity,
    nor critical awards:

    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0121955/awards/?ref_=tt_awd

    I should also add that YOU are not likely to be the target audience of
    Bluey.

    Lastly, like most Aussie kids of my age, TV didn't reach me until I was
    able to watch my neighbour's set at around age 7 or 8 (though TV was
    officially released when I was 3 years old, few people owned TV sets).
    FWIW, my favourite show was this:

    I wonder if Trevor knows that rating is for a single episode and a mere 19 thousand bothered to rate it.
    Never mind....we know he's clueless.

    (snip the tales of Trevor window peeping his neighbors to watch TV)

    Clueless is thinking the number of IMDB ratings is important.

    Of course, there's nothing easier and lazier than tearing down something someone else likes just to be annoying.

    Witless is chasing their tail again.

    I wonder if Trevor knows that [IMDB] rating is for a single episode and a mere 19 thousand bothered to rate it.
    Clueless is thinking the number of IMDB ratings is important.
    More clueless is thinking IMDB ratings are important.

    So now, explain why you used them as a benchmark to attack Trevor a minute ago.
