Most likely if they don't get the numbers they want they will bury it and we'll never know, if they do get what they want they'll scream it from the roof tops!

I tend to agree that not seeing a report on the final count is a good sign that the count shows Texans favor teachers being able to defend themselves and their students. The MSM seems to be prone to suppressing data that does not fit their narrative.

Interesting that ALL of the recent gun survey's have had very unusual things happen with them. To me it is clear that the purpose of these un-scientific survey's is simply to propagandize public opinion.

So much for "reporting the facts".

What I find so interesting about it is that Noam Chomsky (hero of the left) has a book called Manufacturing Consent where he demonstrates with solid evidence that the mass communication media of the U.S. "are effective and powerful ideological institutions that carry out a system-supportive propaganda function"

But somehow when Donald Trump calls out the legacy media as fake news he is attacked by the left? Have they read Manufacturing of Consent?

They not only have read it, they worship at it's altar. They don't like the spotlight shining on them, because they are too transparent. They use terms like, "infringing upon the First Amendment", as if they are the only group allowed to use the 1A, to criticize another.The reason they criticize, is that they hope the unwashed, uninformed, masses, haven't read it. The truth, is the antithesis, for their very existence. JMHO

Yep. When Edward Bernays wrote The Engineering of Consent essay in 1947 and in book form in 1955 and the BBC covers it in the documentary The Century of the Self its kinda hard to pretend that this stuff doesn't exist. It's harder to bamboozle the public when the public is informed of the manipulative techniques being used.
