Morris didn't think Bush would win the Senate in the 2002 Election, so wishful thinking of his old affiliations still affect his thinking; but he does often have a sharp eye for trends.

Those in professional politics take the media's distortions for granted, and even learn to play them through what has come to be called "spin." We know what's happening in Washington, the White House and Congress; each morning, when we read the version the media give to the public, we can't but help notice the difference.

The "elite" have noticed that the media does not accurately portray reality, and the "elite" have no incentive to announce or address it. In fact, the media is an organ, a part of the elite, and accuracy is NOT part of the agenda. At best, the goal is market share and revenue. At worst, the goal is manipulation of public opinion and perception in order to effect a deeper level of control.
