PARADOX: Polls VS Campaign Corporate Money [View All]

[quantass]

I'm trying to understand how this works.

Throughout the reign of an administration we get polls for this and that. The polling suggest the country ignores the MSM bull and have a liberal sensibility on how to fix the country; less war, proper taxation of the rich, better healthcare and education, regulation. Come election time corporations throw stacks of money at politicians who then run ads and such and once these people go in to vote they apparently vote the way corporations wanted them to. It's as if come election time people can't help themselves but drink up the MSM bull and corporate ads.

On one hand when polled people seem to be aware of the nonsense being pushed by Fox and MSM and for the most part run counter to what they are serving up as if people are getting their news from some other more trusted source. Yet on the other hand after billions $$ have been spent on ads these same people vote WITH what MSM / corporations want. Corporate money wouldnt be flooding in to politicians if this strategy wasnt affective.

Is the polling by the small sample an inaccurate reflection of the entire country (apparently a much larger uninformed block who listen to MSM come out and vote against the polling results) OR is the election system rigged (but if that is the case why would corporations waste money on a guaranteed outcome) ?
