The Crazy Rants of Samantha BurnsAn Unsubstantiated Substantial Discussion
Winger Comics knows the idiocy of the media.
This is something that many of us know about the media bias, and something that I've written about in the past: the mainstream media
"first tells the public what to think; then they poll the people on what they think; then they publish that the people think this certain way. Well ya, if you are manipulating people to think a certain way, then of course your poll is going to articulate that."The sad reality is that there are too many people out there who buy into this bias.
And, even when they should know better, some people forget about the manipulation and fall into the trap.
And, don't just take my opinion on it, this unconfirmed report that I'm holding in my hands confirms that this is a fact.
Anyhow, if you haven't already, check out the cartoon. I especially like the brainwashing element of "civil, civil, civil, civil, war, war, war" and "hate Bush, Bush, Bush".
This is exactly how brainwashing brings out the weakminded moonbats protesting over their own freedom and risking the lives of the heroes protecting our freedom. Well, there's that and the fact that many loonies just like to protest for the sake of protesting. Boring.

In the run-up to the 1936 presidential election, the managers of Literary Digest decided to conduct a telephone poll by which to predict the winner. So they polled...their own subscribers. And got returns from which they predicted a landslide victory for Alf Landon, the Republican governor of Kansas, over incumbent president Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Hey, remember all the brilliant successes of the Landon Administration. Boy, those were the days...

No, nope, no civil war to be seen in Iraq; there is plenty of good news over there: puppy dogs are yapping, butterflies are flapping.
Oh, and a teacher had his head chopped off in front of his class.
No civil war at all.
Next year when there are 120 people dying each day, not 60 as is the current rate, there will still be no civil war.
