Watch out for those polls: The set-up is on....again!

[FrenchieCat]

It's all about what I have always stated...the media uses polls to sway public opinion...
It's all been done before....
it works and it's so easy!

and if we don't do something about it, it will be done AGAIN!

SEPTEMBER 2, 2004 – It's better overseas.

If you turn on the TV news in places like South America, what you are hearing now is that not only has President Bush begun to move ahead of John Kerry in some polls, but that he is is far ahead, past the margin of error, and that, even more, he will stay there from this point on.

We've been getting e-mails and reading the stories about how supposedly Kerry's campaign is in disarray, how George Bush is supposedly suddenly in the lead, how Democrats are freaking out.

Don't any of you remember last election?

Remember the "inevitability?"

Oh yeah, you forgot about that.

Don't you remember how as far as two years before the last Presidential election the entire media was reporting, and reporting, and reporting, that it was inevitable that an unknown Governor from Texas, George W. Bush, was "unbeatable" against Al Gore, the semi-incumbent in a time of peace and prosperity? Don't you recall how basically every single poll reported that there was no way Gore was going to win, how Bush's victory was just a matter of time? Don't you remember how odd and alarming you found that?

For those of you who have forgotten, let us remind you with a simple, factual stroll through memory lane. We will simply list the dates, sources, titles and authors, then give you the direct quotes so you can relive it all.

1. I was in Japan in October-November, 2000

And all the reporting in the Japanese media that I could get was that Bush, going into the final week or so, was up like six points. No mention of any showing Gore ahead.

And there was never any mention, that I saw, of the last-minute revelation about W's dWi.
