No, it makes the assumption that most people are too dumb to see through this. And that is fact. Take for example the public popularity of the current war in Iraq, back just before Dubya declared it. (After a veritable media frenzy). There was even a majority for the war on this forum, despite my rubbing your collective noses in it, yet most here have above average intelligence, so what chance does the average person on the street stand?
