A Pew survey on cross-national gender equality finds that "in both developing countries and wealthy ones, there is a pronounced gap
between a belief in the equality of the sexes and how that translates
into reality."
More on the Kos/polling scandal. Sounds like Kos handled it very well. He's planning on suing the polling company.
Yes, I'll admit it. I've taken pictures of myself using PhotoBooth on my Mac, and I've turned my iPhone around to take pictures of myself many times. But that's because I'm the only photographer in this family — I'm always behind the camera and never in front of it. Sometimes I'm concerned that there will be no historical evidence that I ever existed. (But then I remember that I have this dumb blog.)

Markos is a journalist (by training) with a law degree, maybe even a specialization in media law. You could tell from his post — with multiple repetitions of the word “fraud” — that not only was he suing, he was trying to draw a countersuit from R2K.
That will be an exciting discovery process.

Is there a single “retraction” list that we can use to avoid the contaminated polls? This is an issue even in science, where the results of a retracted manuscript can persist in cites and the literature for way too long. But in this case, with no formalized publication, and lots of repetition, it’s an even bigger issue.
I beleive these are one of the polls I’ve actually cited in the past, and I would very much like to make sure I avoid them in the future.
