Isn't the poll on their FB page?

Wow over 1500 voters and 93% say no. Wonder is she would read it.

the fb poll anyone can vote on, and is extremely heavily favoring NO
online poll you have to be a registered member of the site, and is favoring YES
guess which results they are going to accept?

that's why I posted - they're more apt to "believe" paying subscribers than "outside agitators" irregardless they're going to do what they want to do anyway.

And this is how polls work,

When media targets their audience the results will always show a bias towards what their agenda is. The public in general tho may have a different response.

Imagine if Breitbart was a pay site like the Star-Advertiser is, what the results of a "gun rights" poll would be. Does anyone think the "mainstream media" would give such a poll an ounce of credibility? Laughable.

Maybe SA has more liberals compared to FB?  Responses on FB in general support the 2a.

I'd say.  I wouldn't line a puppy pan with that rag as it may infect the puppy with a disease.  It's 90 % biased, full of nonsense, and goes out daily with little regard to proof reading or editing.  Good thing I'm fluent in pigeon English otherwise it would be completely confounding to read..    I refuse to spend money to buy it, not even the coupons are worth the trouble.

My feelings as well. I moved here in 1993 from the South. I could not believe there could be such a biased, one-sided pair of newspapers in a city, much less a state, as the Honolulu Star-Bulletin and Honolulu Advertiser. I took the paper for the free trial month, and I canceled it before paying a cent.

I admit I've purchased the Advertiser on a few Sundays for the ads and coupons, but that's all the revenue they've gotten from me. Once stores' advertising and promotions upgraded to online digital format, I've saved more from newspaper costs than the coupons were worth.

And their classified ads for "Autos For Sale" are outrageously priced.
