My regular correspondent Number-Cruncher checks in, groaning about the latest Pew poll and that organization’s strange habit of including an unrealistic percentage of Democrats in their sample...Interesting talk by David Horowitz on C-Span today about his latest book which looks at how so many of the biggest foundations in the coutnry have been taken over by the "progressive" leftists who as a result have something like 200 times the money conservative groups have to spread their propaganda around - mentioned Pew specifically and an example of how their CEO simply lied outright when challenged about their spending and orientation - this is why they have the "strange habit" of always including more 'rats in their samples than reality dictates - because they want 'rat candidates to win, and they they're habitual liars who never get seriously challenged for their mendacity.......

...and they they're habitual liars who never get seriously challenged for their mendacity.......

Remember that until relatively recently (concurrent with the rise of alternative media) the liberals have had exclusive control of the public dialog through their dominance of the media. They have controlled the meme for so long that they simply can't fathom being challenged. When they are, they react with visceral hatred and lash out at any and all who might challenge them. In the past, this has sufficed to cow any challengers. But such is not always the case now, and it freaks them out.
