Why is Obama leading in every poll?
The reason Obama is ahead is because the media has become a propaganda machine for his campaign. The tactic they have used to propel him ahead in all polls is the same that the Leninists and Stalinists in Russia used. That is, to lie to the working class about the issues repeatedly over and over again, until the people have heard it so much, they assume it must have an element of truth or be true. In the case of McCain, they lie about most of his positions over and over again until people believe that he is not telling the truth. This process has worked successfully over and over again in many countries and regimes wishing to sway the opinion of the electorate. Until the corrupt media in this country is reformed this will be the case. The Media will have to realize they have destroyed their profession, the free press and journalism in our country and restore in unto themselves through due diligence and truth.
“The most effectual engines for pacifying a nation are the public papers… A despotic government always keeps a kind of standing army of newswriters who, without any regard to truth or to what should be like truth, invent and put into the papers whatever might serve the ministers. This suffices with the mass of the people who have no means of distinguishing the false from the true paragraphs of a newspaper.”—Thomas Jefferson to G. K. van Hogendorp, Oct. 13, 1785.
