INQUIRER - TIGLAO
President Aquino's camp has been adept in manipulating media and polls to manufacture a counterfeit public opinion, and then claim it as "people's wisdom." Malacañang spokesmen even cavalierly justify former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo's anomalous arrest and the assault on the Supreme Court on grounds that "public opinion" supports these moves. Opinion surveys are legitimate research tools. To mystify their findings though as "the voice of the people" and base our moral compass and our sense of justice and fairness on poll findings is utter inanity or crass populism.
