One point about these bogus polls needs making. Yes they are bogus. Yes they show the blatant dishonesty & blind partisanship of the MSM over & over. It makes you wonder why they do something so frickin' obvious, right?

Well, there is a damn good reason for this.

These intentionally manipulated polls serve a grand purpose beyond mere propaganda value. It is the "Big Lie" theory. Joseph Goebbels, Adolf Hitler's propaganda minister used it to great effect in Nazi Germany.
    "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, 
    people will eventually come to believe it."
That is the idea being pushed by the American media today against President Bush & their drive to win back the House & Senate.

The MSM knows full well that most Americans still get all their "newz" from the MSM. They also know that by relentlessly touting these fraudulent polls as though they were fact , they will have an effect on public perception that will affect voting.

Many Americans will falsely conclude that the GOP has failed miserably based on the constant bombardment of lies, slander & sedition they see in the "newz" every single day. The bogus polls will only help confirm that perception. Many of them will choose to either not vote or they will vote for a lib since these polls constantly show a lopsided, albeit fabricated lead by the Dems.

And just as this has a negative effect on conservatives voting patterns, the MSM's strategy has equal or greater effect on libs. Think of how attendance at sporting events is impacted by a teams performance (this includes TV & radio stats too). The better the team does, the better attendance will be & vica versa. It's no different when it comes to voting. Folks will gladly go to the polls when they are confident their guy is going to win, On the contrary, folks are far less inclined to bother voting when they are already convinced their guy is toast.

And please don't tell me that the MSM isn't doing this with the above purpose in mind. Their leftist slant & their fraudulent polls run non-stop on the front page day after day. It's not like there is ever a single day of 100% objective "newz" or 100% accurate political polling, let alone pro conservative anything.
