With NBC/WSJ It’s Not Polling, It’s "Gaslighting" - Media Manipulation: The Latest Version
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | 3-9-2016 | sundance

Posted on 03/09/2016 6:34:02 PM PST by smoothsailing

mark murrayThe latest media narrative “Donald Trump Cannot Beat Hillary Clinton” and “Donald Trump support Dropping”, is being spurred by another NBC/Wall Street Journal poll being pushed – yet again – by NBC political director Mark Murray.

On February 17th we completely deconstructed the ridiculous methodology being deployed in the agenda polls –SEE HERE– What the general audience continually seems to overlook is the source of the information.

Here’s another screengrab of the latest “poll” being pushed by NBC/WSJ (the full pdf is here). Look closely at the origin of the information.

NBC Poll manipulation

What you’ll see is: “Hart Research Associates / Public Opinion Strategies” these are not political polling firms. These are public relations firms. You can go here to see the origin of the data, and you can GO HERE to see the clients they service.

From Their “About Us” Page – About half of our research is dedicated to winning elections. Our political client base includes thirteen U.S. Senators, six Governors, over sixty-five Members of Congress, and numerous state legislative caucuses. The other half of our work is involved in complex public policy battles, working with industry coalitions, government entities and private companies.

What you will discover is their clients are entrenched DC Politicians who have a specific and vested interest in the outcome of the election. Public Opinion Strategies is the outfit that runs their political campaigns and political messaging.

These are not media polls done to capture the mood of the electorate. These are tightly controlled scripts designed to sell a very specific reference. This is the professional political class controlling the information being fed into the media machine.

Do not take our word for it, check it all out for yourself. All the links are above. Once you look into it you’ll realize why and how the reality (election outcome) diverges so completely from the narrative (election prediction).

This crap is all about constructing a false impression and selling the propaganda to the audience. That’s all it is.

Media Lying

This is what they do with the crap:

If they thought Trump would lose, they would be pushing Trump 24/7.

It never made sense to me that Trump could beat 17 candidates, sweep the south, win from Massachusetts to Nevada and Hawaii but he’s the only one who can’t beat hillary.

Excellent exposé... and I've seen Trump-hating Freepers treat this clumsy propaganda as relevant information.

Since about 1915, the major idea of the “progressives” is that the elite rule by “manufacturing consent”. That means that the elite tell us what to think, and “guide” us as how to vote.

This is how it is done. Control the information flow, control the people.
