Survey on Recognition of Armenian Genocide
MSNBC is doing a survey on whether the Armenian Genocide should be recognized. The majority of votes are ‘NO’. It just takes one second. Please vote.

First of all, I saw this poll a while ago, and wrote MSNBC, to express my anger and displeasure with it. The pol is extremely biased. The voters are given 3 choices to choose from, however, the second choice has 2 "sub-choices" in itself. The second option states:
"No. Historians continue to debate whether the deaths were genocide.
Besides, Turkey is too important an ally to alienate when the U.S. has troops in the Middle East"
This is obviously biased, since the voters have to pick between being against it for moral reasons, or for fear of aggravating Turkey. In addition, this "choice" expresses to viewers that there should somehow be a debate, over whether the Genocide even occurred.
There is a consensus among all Western Scholars, including the International Association of Genocide Scholars, that the events of 1915, were indeed Genocide! MSNBC is prejudiced and biased in hinting otherwise.
Is this a subtle clue as to where NBC stands on this issue? Are they indeed denying that Genocide occurred?
I suggest that all Armenians write to this evil corporation, and explain to them that, in the future, they should demonstrate more sensitivity to such issues, and in turn, perhaps respect their Armenian-American audience.
