Your OP, in it's entirety:
"Here's how it's done
The corporate media misinform on an issue then they do a poll and then they tell us how the vast majority of deliberately misinformed people support the bullshit they spewed"
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026347914

I was pretty surprised to see you posting that one hour after posting this, which purports that if the media is not reporting it sufficiently it is not true. So here you say the media is a trusted entity, if they don't tell it to you, it did not happen. But there you call it misinformation, deliberate bullshit.

It has that 'double standards of convenience' look to it.
