Exactly. As you watch the news, keep an ear tuned for phases like: “According to an ABC (or CBS, NBC, etc.) poll...”, “Sources close to CBS (?) disclosed today...”, “A New York Times (?) poll shows that...”. Any time I hear about a poll where a news source is connected or sponsored the poll, I throw its conclusions into the toilet where they belong. The MSM is actually manufacturing its own news. They long ago lost sight of the fact they are supposed to report the news, not create it or editorialize it.

It's incredible isn't it? It's even more incredible how so many of the masses actually absorb what they're 'fed' without question!
It does seem to be predominantly a Liberal/Socialist practice, which for me, is completely understandable.
