As the blatant media bias continues to be laid bare in unprecedently stark ways this week, the latest poll of GOP primary voters offers some positive news. Could it be that the media may be losing its influence in a big way? Despite coordinated attacks against GOP frontrunner Donald Trump, the candidate not only retains his hold on first place — but has surged 9 points to take a YUGE 20 point lead.
Meanwhile, as both the media and President Obama himself have ramped up attacks on Ted Cruz, he’s risen a solid 12 points to hold 16% support in the poll....

If the Main Stream Media is against it, I’m probably for it.
I looked at the polling stats and very strange to me, unless my eyes missed something.
They only reported on the SOUTH. The other areas are all marked N/A. It ended on page 53. Did they not list all individual stats?
Media hits probably do contribute to Cruz rise in the polls. Funny how they seem to work on Carson though.
The media is at a loss as to what to do.They bash him and his numbers go up.They interview him and his numbers go up.Seems Trump is the medias “Tarbaby”.
Stet.
I believe that’s called a contrarian strategy, something I heard of a while back when studying investments.
It only makes sense, the MSM is out to destroy the country, if we want to save it, the opposite of what the MSM wants or says will always be right.
I remain Bearish on promotion of PC behavior. I also think ‘conservatives reaching across the aisle’ to appease democrats is highly overvalued!
O’Reilly interviewed Trump last night and Trump said that we may have to “take them out” referring to terrorists family members. O’Reilly asked him what “take them out” meant. I guess Bill is so dumb he was thinking it meant “take them out to dinner.” Bill was trying to embarrass Trump and make him say “kill”. So psychologically deep, don’t you think?/s
Funny. I think JFK said something vague like that to the CIA referring to Diem. Then they killed him and JFK was horrified and said, “I didn’t mean kill him!” They said, “WTF? What did you think ‘take him out’ meant in Vietnam?”
Saint John would never have said anything like that unless Diem was banging one of his girl friends.
As Teddy would say, “I thought she knew how to swim.”
Well, that’s what his court historian Schlesinger said he said.
Keep it up, boys.
With Bobby as the Holy Ghost and Teddy was Saint Paul on the Road to Chappaquiddick.
I spent 40 years on the fringes of Mass politics and Schlesinger and the rest of the Harvard Scholars were in it for the Bucks and Ideology, Bucks First.
I teach at a Catholic university with a big statue of St. John the Lustful in front of our student union.
My Mother grew up in Lynn, Mass, an industrial town based around a GE Plant. She Married out to my Dad who was from Utah, Mormon and Catholic, pissed both sides off, Dad died young and I was exiled back to Mass.
I married in to a Lithuanian Family, pissed more people off, who during the 30’s were the local Bootleggers during Probation.
In 1931 the Irish bootlegger mob, Joe Kennedy, made a take over from Poles and Lits, and murdered several of a friends family.
Every Year since November 22, 1963, the son of the Bootlegger got roaring Drunk in Celebration. He has passed but still an interesting story.
Just remember, the Prog/Lib/Media/Dem/Commie/Left has a long memory, and a long range plan.
We Conservatives on the other hand, seem to rest and go back to sleep (not all of us, but a good percentage of us) after an electoral victory. I fully hoped for Conservative policies to be pushed hard when W had both houses and he was the President, it didn’t happen.
I remember I even sent an email to a friend that said “Congress, the Senate, and the Presidency, take no prisoners and apply a scorched earth policy”, once again it didn’t happen.
Weak President? Cowardly Congress? Chicken SH#T Senate?
This time if we win, we must keep up the pressure up on all three branches of the government.
We must not hibernate, we must not sleep, we must stay EVER VIGILANT; because the enemy is out there and searching for any sign of weakness.
The Democrats and MSM salivate at the idea of Trump winning the nomination because he has no chance at winning the general election.
NONE
That's because we're problem solvers. We think that by putting the 'right' person in the job, we have the problem taken care of.

Hear Hear! Exactly! We need to ever remind those we put in office why we put them there. We need to tell them loud and often, what it is that we expect of them.
I think overwhelming constituent support for Conservative positions on all issues is the only thing which may provide some resistance to 'Beltway Fever' and keep these guys on track.
Unless those who claimed to be Conservative in the past were simply lying, or they fell into some 'honey pot' in DC, they should have been working actively to reverse the gains the Liberals made when they aggressively pursued their policy changes.
That just hasn't happened.
Trump, hands down.
But only if the others are blasted with their 'accomplishments' conspicuously and often.
Trump isn't my first choice, but he'd do in a pinch.
It was more than vague and Kennedy encouraged the coup. You’ll want to see Ambassador Frederick Nolting’s memoir ‘From Trust to Tragedy’.
