Nice catch Mike. Despite NewsMax
catering to right wing interests, I think that the polls are believable,
especially considering the astounding progress made by the current regime
through channels like Fox.
Parts of the news media have been in
colusion with the government for a very long time and the tactics used to
influence the masses was openly acknowledged back in the Wilson adminisration.
Hakan's observations are also an indication of that same
colusion.
So, in my opinion, the question becomes; Is
NewsMax manufacturing consent or just reporting back on the progress they've
already made?

Hi Fritz and
everyone...polls...hmmm...can anyone tell
me more about "NewsMax"? Who owns and controls this website?
Fritz, have you asked anyone at NewsMax how this poll was
conducted? What are the demographics of this poll? I see on
their homepage as of today, Sunday, May 7, just after 7pm Central (USA),
where they site a poll WITH HEADLINES that says Fox is the most trusted news
source in the U.S., but the story says we're talking about 11% of the public
making it this "popular." Hey, if only roughly One in Ten
Americans are fatheads, we're not doin' too bad. I wouldn't
be surprised if a large percentage of these 11% make up the largest
percentage of the "voters" who answered the NewsMax poll, which would
make that "77%" actually an incredibly small percentage of the U.S.
population. Sorry you blame the "ordinary" U.S. citizen for
however our government acts. What's the deal in your country? Is
your government walking in lockstep with the will of the overwhelming
majority of the "ordinary" citizens? What is "ordinary"
anyway???? I'll leave it at that for now. Mike

Fritz,
Have a strong feeling of dejavu and
this time I will save the info in a special place. Pre Iraq, I saw
similar figures and also some support on this list. Today it is
overwhelming negative numbers in support for the Iraq war and
approval ratings for the president. Maybe I should frame this, for
future use.
Talk about a violent population, 77% in support of
military action and killing Iranians. In two years we will have 65%
in denial and against the US engagement in Iran. It will be an even
bigger mess than Iraq, with attacks all over the
world.
Hakan
