Quotational Therapy: Part 86 -- Lincoln, On Public Opinion.

Applicable To All Those Fraudulent Media Polls & All That Biased Reporting-

Honest Abe Lincoln, on public opinion:

With public sentiment, nothing can fail; without it nothing can succeed. Consequently he who moulds public sentiment, goes deeper than he who enacts statutes or pronounces decisions. He makes statutes and decisions possible or impossible to be executed.

That's from Lincoln's first debate with Stephen Douglas.

And it's absolutely true. While blogs and other sources of information outside of the left-wing media establishment are rapidly gaining in popularity, it's the big media giants that still set the agenda. Whether it is those intentionally skewed or misrepresented polls, which become self-fulfilling prophesies over time, or the relentless drumbeat of hyperbole and tabloidism and trumped up scandal, our out-of-touch media giants are failing our Republic.

Previous Quotational Therapy Session:

Grover Cleveland, Democrat, Surplus-Giver-Backer.
