Press Inducing "Pollaganda"

That's propaganda to you and me. Article by Mark M Alexander:

What The Times and CBS, along with other MSM outlets, are really doing is polling on the media's effectiveness at indoctrinating readers and TV viewers with opinion-shaping propaganda -- or in The Patriot's parlance, "pollaganda."
Pollaganda is outcome-based opinion samples (polling instruments designed to generate a preferential outcome) based on prior-opinion indoctrination or cultivation by the media, the results of which are then used to manipulate public opinion further by advancing the perception that a particular opinion on an issue has majority support, and then presenting this "data" as if it were "news."


Surely, alot of Republican's and Bush's troubles are their own fault, but it does seem that the Old Media unfairly and giddily portrays as much bad news as possible in an attemp to further their own leftist political views.
