In Brief: Stop Believing Election Propaganda

“Republicans Are Blowing the Midterms,” they say — in order to dishearten voters.

Media pollaganda is the effort to use polling to drive rather than reflect public opinion. It’s an insidious way for the Leftmedia to serve Democrat Party interests. Keep that in mind, says political analyst Larry O'Connor, when it comes to all the dire predictions for Republican prospects in November.

The headlines are inescapable if you insist on paying attention to the Mainstream Corporate Propagandists in the legacy media.

From CNN: “From a Republican ‘tsunami’ to a ‘puddle’: Why the forecast for November is changing”

To The New York Times: “Growing Evidence Against a Republican Wave”

To the Washington Post: “Democrats see the once unthinkable: A narrow path to keeping the House”

It’s all the same take, the same opinion, the same “hot take,” and basically, the same article. (Have you noticed how often they all write the same article?)

Before you become a typical Eeyore Republican and only see doom and gloom ahead of you, be clear on one important truth: That’s exactly the point of this barrage of articles dressed up like “expert analysis.” They want you disheartened. They want you depressed. They want you miserable. They want you to stay home between now and election day as well as election day itself.

Credibility matters, O'Connor says, and the Leftmedia doesn’t have any.

Do you really think you’re getting objective political analysis and prognostication from journalists and publications who assured you that Donald Trump never had a chance in hell of winning in 2016? Experts who got it so hilariously wrong that year that they could never come to terms with the reality of their failures so instead openly embraced the damnable lie that Trump only won by cheating with help from Putin and Russian collusion?

These partisan hacks are not objective, they aren’t experts, and they don’t have the country’s best interests at heart; they have their party’s best interests at heart. When they aren’t cheerleading for Democrats, they’re interviewing for government jobs from them.

The very same well-paid talking heads who’ve been telling you that “the walls are closing in” on Donald Trump since before he was inaugurated now want to convince you that their completely dispassionate and clear-headed analysis of the polling has proven to them that “the walls are closing in” on Republicans for the midterm elections.

Granted, O'Connor concludes, “Republicans have every opportunity (and the ability) to screw this up.” However, that doesn’t mean the media is to be trusted.

The “analysis” you’re hearing and reading right now is merely camouflaged propaganda pretending to be news.

Don’t fall for it. In fact, just don’t read it.
