Anyone listening to CNN flogging Time poll as only one? 10:00 AM EST.

[Karmadillo]

Not a mention of other polls, not any suggestion this might be an outlier. A clear push to give Bush undeserved momentum.

5. So who is this Mark Coatney?

I googled around a bit and can't find any biographical, political, or educational information on this guy.

He could NOT look into the camera when he was speaking. His eyes were averted and only at the end of a statement would he look at the camera. Me thinks he's a lousey liar.

6. Don't be fooled: Cable's gone completely over to the dark side.

They sucker you in with "most trusted news" or "fair and balanced" then, when there's no place to turn, brainwash you with subtle "some people say" or "this just in." It's insidiously effective, appealing to the crudest fears and basest instincts in human nature: death, revenge, blood, ridicule, hate, terror, hatred of "those other people".

7. Amazing, isn't it?

Now Pat Buchanan is on MSNBC telling Kerry "the ONLY way he can win is to win the debates."

Thanks, Pat - I'm sure Kerry really needs YOUR advice.

And, how much are you willing to bet that, even if Kerry makes Bush break down and cry like a little girl during the debates, Pat won't ever acknowledge that Kerry won.

Maybe I missed it but, but I don't recall this kind of doomsaying when Kerry was leading Bush.

8. Bill Press just suggested something fishy about the poll, while the

anchor and her ally, Pat Buchanan, completely ignored his statement. The anchor then noted the categories of the Time poll where Bush had a lead and then asked them to discuss what Kerry could do in such a seemingly hopeless position. A reliance on a poll so at odds with the others can only come in instructions from the top.

9. Momentum is an illusion

SInce the media are in the pockets of *, they manufacture whaterver they want. I am convinced now that this is all Operation Mind F*ck. Happened when Gore was running too. Aboslute sham. The media are a weapon against the people's minds.
