When was the last time you saw an article that said "Democrats Upset With Kerry Over Gay Marriage Issue" or anything like that? The answer is... NEVER; you won't see it. Why?

The answer is simple... two words: "Push Stories." Like a "Push-Poll," a push story is written to affect what it purports to measure. With push-polls, the people who use them know that people generally like to go with a winner, so they release a poll that is jiggered to show the result that they want, in the hopes the poll itself will help achieve that result. Witness the now-discredited LA Times Poll released to make positive news for Kerry during the Reagan funeral.

Well, push stories are intended to create a result. Note: every time a positive poll comes out for the Bush team, you see a story "Conservatives Unhappy with Bush over [FILL IN THE BLANK]." The reason is that these stories are INTENDED to *create* discontent amongst Conservatives. You will also notice that Scott Lindlaw of the AP writes most of these stories. The solution -- DON'T fall for this trick of the liberal media.

You will notice that when there is a *liberal* wedge issue -- like gay marriage -- the story the liberal media writes is always about how Democrats accuse Republicans of trying to drive a wedge through the base; the obvious reason is that the media wants the Democrat base to stay together.

So, to review:

Bush does well, the media tries to drive a wedge through the conservative base using "push-stories," usually with titles that read "Conservatives Angry With Bush" over SOMETHING... ANYTHING.

If there is a liberal wedge issue, the media will do its best to blame the GOP.

Any questions? Pass this little nugget of wisdom on to your Conservative friends.

Don't let the liberal media get away with their deceitful trick!

Keep our base intact!
