10. The MSM supports the PTB and the right on matters like Iraq and Snowden.

And what most Americans know about this, if anything, comes from the MSM.

Besides, throw a few key words into the questions that are asked and you are almost 100% guaranteed to get certain answers from a majority of those polled. Who commissioned the poll and why also often affects poll results. (Duh)

I don't know why informed people treat polls as some kind of gospel.

For the record, I said the same thing about polls in 2012, when polls were showing that every single Republican who was seeking the nomination would beat Obama in November. Who is likely to get the vote of Americans is something that Americans polls should be good at assessing, too.
