When they said broad consensus, I guess they were referring to the women that work for them.

Insight Cable's cn|2 news channel hired Braun Research, Inc., to conduct a poll in Louisville/Jefferson County about the local bridges, tolls, and other issues. The bridges results are below:

* 50.3% said they most want to see only the construction of an East End Bridge.
* 17.3% of respondents favored building just a Downtown Bridge.
* 14.5% favored building both bridges.
* 10.1% said neither bridge should be built.

You can read more and see two Louisville mayoral candidates respond here.

I posted those numbers and a link to the story, labeling them only as "interesting results from a recent poll", to the Bridges Coalition's Facebook page this morning.

Within 10 minutes, both the results and the link had been deleted.

Folks like Kerry Stemler and Michael Dalby are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to keep people from the facts. What's somewhat refreshing, however, is that such expenditures have been unsuccessful due to their incompetence in making lies sound true. Bridges poll results circa the 2010 propaganda machine are amazingly similar to poll results in the 90s, back before the C-J stopped doing them in deference to King Jerry A.

Not subscribing to their serial fiction is only a first step, though. Real change will begin to occur when the propagandists are shown a collective level of respect analogous to what they've shown us and summarily dismissed from the spotlight of the community stage. Via years of misinformation, Stemler and Dalby have proven beyond a shadow of a corporate investment banker that they wouldn't recognize sustainable, equitable development if it kissed them on the mouth like a cousin. As such, there's little justification other than their bankroll for them to be "starring" in much of anything.
