Survey Bullshit

I used to believe in news from CNN-IBN but recently they too have taken the path same as other (mostly Hindi media). They constantly search for frightening news and if couldn't find one, they make it.
For example: http://ibnlive.in.com/videos/76823/about-50-per-cent-indians-fear-losing-job--salary-cuts.html

They did a ('so called') survey in only 4 metros of India asking if they fear loosing their job. The result as they claim says 47% believed so. And the headline said "50% of Indian". Also, nobody knows what was this percentage before financial crises. I suspect the way people were presented the question and/or agency interpreted the answer.
