How AP Works Its Moonbat Magic

Considering that the Marxist vermin who have taken over the government are plunging the country into economic ruin, it's remarkable that even the libs at AP could come up with a poll indicating that 48% of Americans think the country "is headed in the right direction" — since that direction is obviously straight down.

But like magic, liberal "journalism" isn't so mystifying, once you learn how it's done. As we are told nowhere in the AP article, only 18% of the people surveyed were Republicans.

Next, AP will triumphantly hype a poll showing that Obama has a 99% approval rating, while discreetly failing to note that the poll was taken in the county jail.

As Bill Mitchell observes:

Folks, the communist state has arrived. AP is Pravda.

On a tip from Burning Hot.

POLL's were taken at the local ACORN office.......48% is pityful.

Let us extrapolate the current events to what the liberals really want.

Why do they even bother taking a poll or checking facts? Just make any claim and state any fact that you wish. The truth is a casualty of necessity and all power to the libs is the necessity.

It makes one wonder why they don't just kill all the people and their heirs who have a few million dollars and aren't liberals and confiscate their money and property. It would be a simple solution--just check to make sure they aren't liberal donors and kill them.

While they are at it, they should imprison anybody who runs a factory, invents a machine, or hires more than three people if they are guilty of not being black or liberal.

All pregnant women should have to testify in front of a judge (female abortion advocate) why they want the baby and prove they will raise the baby as a liberal or else they should be forced to have an abortion.

Of course the country will not produce and eventually the libs will not have anybody left to exploit and no nation on earth will help them or give them anything.

And when China or some other country moves in and rounds up the few surviving liberals and they are kneeling at the edge of a ditch they have dug before getting the bullet in the back of the head, they can smile and know they did their part.

THERE IS MUCH MORE TO THE MISINFORMATION AND SELLING OF OBAMA

AP Poll: Americans high on Obama, direction of US
For the first time in years, more Americans than not say the country is headed in the right direction.

That is the headline. These are the facts. In text which most do not read.

“And yet, the percentage* of Americans saying the country is headed in the right direction rose to 48 percent, up from 40 percent in February. Forty-four percent say the nation is on the wrong track.”

*NOTE: AT THE VERY BOTTOM OF THE PAGE IT STATES—The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.

ESSENTIALLY THIS MEANS THAT THERE IS NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT STATISTICALLY! It is statistically true that 47% say that the nation is on the wrong track and only 45% are high on Obama. This is a non-news story written to promote Obama and see if they can get more than half to support him.

Where I come from, 48% is equal to less than one-half. How do we explain this? Are liberal democrat members of the press uneducated math deficient idiots or misleading liars—or both? This is why WHAT NEXT? Will wreck economic havoc on these media outlets. What else in the Poll did the press mis-characterize?

“While there is evidence that people feel more optimistic about the economy, 65 percent said it's difficult for them and their families to get ahead. More than one-third know of a family member who recently lost a job.

_More than 90 percent of Americans consider the economy an important issue, the highest ever in AP polling.

_Nearly 80 percent believe that the rising federal debt will hurt future generations, and Obama is getting mixed reviews at best for his handling of the issue.”

Could it be said, or better yet, would it have been said by this same news outlet, if these were Bush poll numbers, that:

AP Poll: 52% of Americans Not High on Bush
65% worried about their families, 90% worried about economy, 80% certain Bush spending dooms future generations—most of Americans worried sick and scared to death!

Welcome to misinformation in America covering a punk politician being propped up by a fawning press.

And we all know what they say about statistics. Whenever I read a poll, I hit all the necessary links to get to what is behind the numbers. What is the makeup of the sample, what were the questions, was is electronic or human? Margin, sample size? etc. If this info is not provided, I trumpet that all around to any site that will listen.
Manipulating stats is sneaky, sleazy, unethical, and you can get caught with your pants down.

87.6% of all statistics are made up on the spot.....

YES---- the only true and honest news outlet is FOX!! We all know this. Anyone who says anything that you don't agree with, MUST be a socialist, communist, fascist, pig, ass.... Fox and (Cavuto, Beck, Hannity, O'Reilly, Van Sustern) only tell a fair and unbiased version of what is happening. That is 5 hours a night of prime-time propaganda that hates, denies and preaches intolerance of anyone who disagrees with them. No other PRIMETIME show on TV is as hateful and vindictive as Fox. Find another show that mentions Nazis as much as O'Reilly, interviews Palin more than Van Sustern, screams doomsday as much as Beck, and bleeds hate like Hannity. They are the future of your party. Intolerant moral authoritarians. Awesome.

The MSM is a willing accomplice, gladly fulfilling the role of state propaganda machine.

It's a betrayal of the public trust and seems utterly treasonous in its goal.
