| If it doesn't pass the smell test, it is probably not true. We keep being told that Obama is leading, that the race is close at best, that voters have accepted a 'new normal' for unemployment, that the economy is improving, that the price of gas means nothing, that Romney is making fatal gaffes. We were even told that the 9/11 attacks which left our ambassador to Libya dead made Romney look bad. Every week is a good week for Obama and a bad week for Romney according to the media.

The psyops are analogous to the proverbial drowning man grasping at straws. The proverbial man drowns with a handful of straw. The psyops live on to "op" again.

The psyops provide cover for the next phase, which is either massive cheating or simply declaring the winner due to unforseen circumstances.
Remember how Democrats used inaccurate exit polling to claim fraud?

In January 1991, during Desert Storm, "Baghdad Bob" told all the American soldiers that Tom Cruise and Homer Simpson were back home having their way with our wives... I give the same credence to that report as I do that Obama, despite the dire state of the country, is ahead in the polls

Paging First Amendment lawyers. Despite Constitutional protections, if the press were really collaborating to distort the news in favor of swinging the election, wouldn't this constitute deliberate election fraud? Conspiracy? Racketeering? If you've got expertise in this area, I'd really like to know.

The MSM are slitting their own throats, destroying what little credibility they might have once had, and can no longer be considered "main stream." Main stream news now comes from talk radio and the internet.
Bye, bye network news!

I often find myself falling victim to the MSM fraud, and start believing what they are saying (lying). I hope and pray that the REAL poll on Nov. 6 gets rid of the scourge of America!

I am with you #4. The first amendment presupposes a fair and balanced press, not an industry that has mostly chosen sides and attempt to sway elections. They are abusing their privilages to the point of criminal conspiracy.
Plenty of businesses have been found in violation of non-discrimination laws on flimsier statistical evidence of bias.

We have all seen the history book pictures of the liberation of Paris in WWII. The French public chased down the local prostitutes who had openly collaborated with the German occupying forces and shaved their heads in the streets.
If We The People are successful in ousting the progressive/socialist forces among us, we should conduct a symbolic head-shaving of the presstitutes who have openly collaborated with them.
We should pointedly drop subscriptions to the most flagrant newspapers and similarly quit watching the LSM television networks.
If they want to murder freedom there is no reason the victims should pay for their ammunition.

Excellent analysis towards the end of this informative article describing the Obama voter. Yes, he will have his 45% at the very least.

Agreed all....all the polling and feel good stories (especially recently) have seemed to be part of battle space preparation for the coming lawsuits (and more). The left is going to do "Florida 2000" times 10, all over the country. If they can create enough doubt and turmoil (with the help of the press), they can attempt to throw the results into question. Creating what they do best, another manufactured crisis. ...broken glass is right, they can't steal it if it ain't close...

Yes, #10, after Romney wins the election, we must hunt up all Empty Chair's media collaborators and punish them. Shave their heads, like the French did (and worse).
I claim Chris Matthews (though he has little hair left) and Rachel Madcow. I've got my sheep shear clippers ready

#10 Most conservatives I know dropped subscriptions to liberal newspapers and magazines years ago. We avoid movies with the worst "star" liberals and I will boycott products when they endorse liberal causes. I realized years ago living in California, the only vote I have, is with my pocketbook.

I'm in agreement with those who think that the bogus polls are in part a pretext to claim fraud after Zero loses. If the Resident doesn't achieve a victory approximately as large as his in-the-tank pollsters are claiming, then something is rotten in Denmark. Of course, the Legacy Media and their pet polling branches are astonishingly pure in their allegiance to the Left (which is the Democratic Party). And what is being attempted here is definitely psyops. To be sure, getting our own "conservative" pundits to accept, uncritically, the results of these slanted polls is disheartening. So I am tuning them out until this mess comes to a merciful conclusion on November 6. As horrible as the economy has been, I don't see how Obama could be ahead in any state that's not already solidly Democrat.
Besides, Romney has been preparing to launch an ad blitz at the right time. I would imagine that time is near. Be of good cheer.

All: The American press has been playing politics as long as the USA has been around, if not longer. Know your history. Present day political press accounts are nothing when compared to the mid to late 1800's. The Hearst name should also ring a bell. Nothing new here really.
The big problem is the gullibility of the public, lack of real education and critical thinking skills, along with the broadly brushed welfare queens (and princes).

Or someone besides Lucianne, Drudge and the Blaze could compete with them. At least come prepared to interviews that will surely stress the latest DNC talking points. Every non communist should be using their network time as teachable moments. Then will someone get a clue and launch a counterpoint? IF there was a traditional based channel it would be easy to have a show that just plays all the network headlines that they felt were important when Bush was President. You could have Matt Lauer crying about high gas prices... at $2.00. Or David Gregory upset about the latest unemployment numbers... 6%. Hey, if a half wit like Jon Stewart can do it, literally anyone can.

Agree with No. 15. Recently I heard from my lib brother. We were talking about the recent midwest heat-wave & he was asking about family members that he knows have been struggling with long-term unemployment. Not really trying to make a campaign talking point, I told him that mid-summer they had to turn off all AC because it was unaffordable. He didn't say anything for a long moment & I think it really hit home with him that many people that he knows personally are suffering. I know that he would never vote for a Republican, but I could sense by his pause that he is having second thoughts about BO's Robin Hood economy. He might just stay home & not vote.

For a group that (collectively) has the brain matter of a thimble, they sure pride themselves on how the mind should work.
Bug off. We don't believe anything you insects could contrive.

When I arrived home late last night after attending the George Zimmerman trial in Sanford, Florida, I watched the Miami Heat beat the San Antonio Spurs -- great game! -- just as I predicted they would, but it was not until I checked my email inbox that I really began to feel vindicated. First, I was alerted to a series of articles about a new documentary simply titled TWA Flight 800 -- that has the very real potential to reopen the investigation into the destruction of this plane off the coast of Long Island in 1996.

Mary Landrieu last Thursday showed what would be, for many of us, appalling ignorance. Debating against the need to build a fence to keep out illegal immigrants -- a proposal which Landrieu had earlier supported -- the Louisiana senator said to Senator Thune from South Dakota: (snip) "the Senator from South Dakota, who only has a border with Canada that is quite different." Consider just how profoundly ignorant that was for any grownup, to say nothing of a senator who chairs the Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee.

As the Washington media continues to trip over the stumbling blocks of administration scandals and echoes of Watergate bounce off the buildings across the Potomac River, the question comes to mind: Will there be impeachment hearings this summer as there were in the Summer of ´73? There may indeed be impeachment hearings this summer, but not for President Obama; we may very well see that the House Judiciary Committee convenes hearings on the impeachment of the Attorney General (AG) Eric Holder.

I caught Sarah Palin on Fox & Friends this morning. Wow, talk about a breath of fresh air! While listening to Palin speak on various issues and Obama´s scandals, something occurred to me. Palin on TV fills a desperately needed void. Sarah Palin communicates in plain English, free of the usual guarded TV political speak. Palin fearlessly nailed Obama and company with the truth. Folks, I cannot express how good and hopeful I felt.

Here we are at the midpoint of the Obama years, assailed on every side by looming consequences of liberal hubris and liberal corruption. But the Obama Scandals don´t get me all riled up with partisan outrage. What´s the surprise? If liberals in the media, in the academy, and in politics stigmatize conservatives as monsters, racists, sexists, homophobes, why be surprised that little Lois Lerner wants to please her teacher? Why wouldn´t the Democrats want to do immigration reform and never mind the consequences to low-paid Americans?

There exists a certain real pathos inherent in the NSA´s PRISM program -- and not only because of its attempt to undermine American principles. PRISM, along with its doubtlessly enormous support structure, is based on a worldview that no longer exists among serious intellects (snip) PRISM is much like the other elements of Barack Obama´s great progressive crusade -- ObamaCare, quantitative easing, green economics -- elaborate and expensive systems apt to cause a lot of misery and waste while accomplishing nothing. Liberals like to boast that they are the rational party. But it´s an obsolete rationality

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Likening religious schools to segregation--a racist system that forced blacks to attend different schools and use different facilities than whites in the American South--President Barack Obama told a town hall meeting for youth in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Monday that there should not be Catholic and Protestant schools because such schools cause division. "Because issues like segregated schools and housing, lack of jobs and opportunity--symbols of history that are a source of pride for some and pain for others--these are not tangential to peace; they’re essential to it,"

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s

Celebrity chef Paula Deen admitted in a recorded deposition to telling racist jokes, using the N-word, and planning a slavery-themed wedding, according to multiple reports. The May 17 deposition where she made the alleged admissions is part of a $1.2 million lawsuit brought by Lisa Jackson, the former manager of a Savannah, Georgia, restaurant run by Deen and her brother Bubba Hiers. Jackson alleges in the suit that Deen used the N-word at the restaurant and that Hiers sexually harassed her. According to the reports, in the deposition, Deen replied “Yes, of course,”

This is the thirtieth anniversary of the publication of How Democracies Perish, an analysis of the spread of world communism by Jean-François Revel, one of freedom´s most serious French defenders since Tocqueville. At the heart of this work, Revel details "The Tools of Communist Expansion," among which the most relevant for understanding our current situation comes in Chapter 16, "Ideological Warfare and Disinformation." The profound simplicity of Revel´s nuts and bolts account of totalitarianism´s Cold War advance, far from being obsolete
