CBS AND SOROS TEAM UP TO FUND, PUBLISH KERRY PUSH POLL
The Kerry Fairy ^ | 09/22/04 | Becki Snow

Posted on 09/22/2004 11:54:51 AM PDT by dandelion

Once again, CBS continues to carry water for the Kerry Campaign - even going so far as to "partner" with a Soros-funded 527 designed to push polls for John Kerry.

MTV's "CHOOSE OR LOSE" - ROCK THE VOTE 2004 -

Poll Gives Kerry Big Lead Among Voters Under 30

09.21.2004 11:53 AM EDT

Younger voters think the country is heading in the wrong direction and that President Bush does not share their priorities, but they like Bush personally and are unsure about John Kerry.

Overall, Kerry has a substantial lead among voters under thirty, a reversal of the Bush's nine-point advantage among all registered voters. In a head-to-head contest, Kerry is leading Bush by 10 points (51-41), and in a contest that includes Ralph Nader, Kerry is ahead by 6 (46-40-4).

These results came from a new poll of 18-29-year-olds (conducted September 8-13) by CBS News on behalf of MTV and the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning & Engagement (CIRCLE).

A previous investigation revealed the direct ties that "CIRCLE" - aka CIVICYOUTH - has to the Soros/Kerry money machine. Now, dear reader, we find that CBS is partnering directly with Soros to publish press-releases for the Kerry campaign; but CBS/MTV is disguising these Soros press releases as news. This may be a flagrant violation of the Federal Election Laws, and is most certainly a violation of what used to be journalistic ethical code.

For the sake of expediency, the previous investigation has been referenced in this article.

---SNIP---

Don your fedoras, cyber-detectives: it's time to see whom the "researchers" are working for...

Center for Information and Research "Since 2001, CIRCLE has conducted, collected, and funded research on the civic and political participation of young Americans. CIRCLE is based in the University of Maryland's School of Public Policy and is funded by the Pew Charitable Trusts and Carnegie Corporation of New York."

Sounds good, eh? But a little further googling takes you to The Democracy Collaborative, and you see CIRCLE is connected to -

"The Democracy Collaborative: About the Collaborative"
---SNIP---
"Founding Principals"

"The principal initiators of The Democracy Collaborative include:
---SNIP---
Benjamin R. Barber Distinguished University Professor, Gershon and Carol Kekst Professor of Civil Society and the Maryland System-wide Wilson H. Elkins Professor at the University of Maryland, and author of Jihad vs. McWorld, Strong Democracy, and other works.
---SNIP---
William A. Galston, "Saul I. Stern Professor" of Civic Engagement in the Maryland School of Public Affairs, Director of the Institute for Philosophy and Public Policy, Director of the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning & Engagement (CIRCLE) and a founder of the National Alliance for Civic Education. ---SNIP---

And what is their mission, pray tell? Well, a Global Society, according to their own website:

"The Civworld Campaign" The Democracy Collaborativebelieves it is is vital that "preventive war" strategiesbe supplemented and/or replaced by "preventive democracy" strategies. Our CivWorld initiative is now promoting the "Declaration of Interdependence" and an "Interdependence Day" celebration scheduled for September 12, 2003 as a positive alternative program of international cooperation. The first annual Interdependence Day will be launched at the American Philosophical Societyin Philadelphia and on the campus of the University of Maryland at College Park. For more information, visit www.civworld.org.

"CIRCLE/Democracy Collaborative" is also very aggressive in pushing for a "transnational society", meaning: no national boundaries. Ahhhh, this is no objective polling organization; rather, it is a "non-profit" with an agenda. An agenda that supports John Kerry's campaign...

And who might be behind this "Democracy Collaborative"? Why, none other than George Soros himself.

---SNIP---

Why, look! There's Benjamin Barber, one of the Founding Principals of CIRCLE!

Let's go over the evidence one more time, shall we?

-Center for Information and Research at the University of Maryland =CIRCLE
-CIRCLE = Democracy Collaborative
-Democracy Collaborative = George Soros
-George Soros = funding of fake Kerry Campaign "polls" via Soft Money.
-Fake Kerry Campaign "Polls" = free advertising by CBS, MRV, Viacom

It comes as no surprise that CBS/Viacom Empire would literally hand over air time/print space to Kerry for a free commercial funded by illegal soft money. Rather than surprise us, it should outrage us that a once proud network has become nothing more than a Propaganda machine for George Soros and the Democratic Party...

I thought this is relevant considering the CBS documents flap - admin, if you do not think this belongs in breaking news, please pull. Thank you.

Why does every poll show all of Nader's support coming from Bush?

Nevermind...I misread it. This is one that seems to make sense, as far as that is concerned.

Very interesting money connection. But how does that show that it's a push poll? That is something else altogether, isn't it?

If you look at most of the CBS soaps right now, you'll notice that the characters are wearing "Rock the Vote" tees....I noticed it months ago on Y&R and haven't watched since. I don't need CBS trying to influence how I vote....could be why I don't watch it in primetime anymore. Or the fact that I watch FNC and have become addicted to FR...

George Soros, perhaps the world's most dangerous New World Order operative, has a KNOWN HISTORY of pulling shady and very tricky schemes to turn elections his way and even engineer coups in Eastern Europe, with Serbia being the prime example. And he practically owns Macedonia!!!!

Once he steals these elections, he and his cronies preceed to LOOT the assets of the countries!!! The most spectacular case of such looting was in Russia, which was turned into a kleptocracy. What Putin is now doing is largely to undo Soros' damage, as well as to be more effective in fighting the Chechen bandits (which are themselves Soros allies, as is the KLA, etc.).

Soros' shannigans on behalf of Kerry smack of the VERY SAME kind of dirty tricks!!!! Kerry, a true hollow man,, would make an even better Soros puppet than Serbia's late prime minister Djindjic!!!! And note that Soros is using CBS News, an operation that has been sufferign from decreasing ratings, as well as the recent Rathergate flap! Evil operators like Soros LOVE to work through weak companies, other organizations, and people. Strong organizations and people don't "need" Soros, so won't work with him!!!!

Let's stop Soros before he does to our country what he did to Serbia and Russia!!!!

Seems to me that younger voters who get their information about the candidate/election from MTV, will either be too drunk or too hungover to show up to vote on election day.

>>>George Soros, perhaps the world's most dangerous New World Order operative<<<<

No, Soros is world-known philantropist and respected investor who respect and supports American values

We should help him by making his activities known to all freedom loving Americans.

Mapping the network of OSI in the U.S. is the first step

Tracking Quantum Fund, second.

That's what real open society is all about

I've heard from a friend in music business that Dems are preparing to use rappers as a tool to motivate Black youth to go to the polls immediatelly before the November 2.

This is worth investigating further.

Thanks for the GREAT research, which backs up my recent "rants" (not!) against Soros, for all (who care to click your links) to see!!!!

Soros, with his backing for the empty-suit Kerry, is one of the major issues of this Presidential election!! And this also applies to certain local races, such as the ones involving Barak Obama and Barney Frank (who really does pronounce his name something like "Bonnie Fwank", as in my recent post).
