Of note, polls that support Democrat candidates are often above the fold in lead stories, while polls that are favorable to conservative candidates are below the fold and mentioned only in a negative or qualified context.

Just ran across this article from 2004. It is very up to date, showing how the liberal media uses bogus polls to direct public opinion. What contempt they have for the voter!
