It looks like Orrin Woodward and the Team aren't the only ones battling the Media War! Here is an article describing exactly what, where, and how the Media War is being waged.

POLL: MOST AMERICANS LOVE COULTER COLUMNS!
March 22, 2006



Bush has lost his momentum, Americans' support for the Iraq war is dwindling, and opposition to Bush policies is hardening. That's according to a recent New York Times/CBS News poll being covered as if it were a real news story.

Like callers to talk radio claiming to be Republicans angry with Republicans, liberals love to pretend public opinion is always in the process of shifting in their direction. They can't win elections — Democrats have gotten a majority vote in a national election only two times since FDR was president (Lyndon Johnson in '64 and Jimmy Carter in '76). But they're always experiencing an upswing in the polls.

Clinton could never get a majority of Americans to vote for him but, according to the polls, as soon as the public found out about his sex romps with Monica, his support shot up to above 80 percent. Bush did get a majority of the country to vote for him less than two years ago. Now we're told 70 percent of Americans hate the man.

Indeed, according to the polls, the public's feeling about the war in Iraq began three years ago with fear, skepticism and dread — and steadily went downhill.

If these poll results were accurate, support for the war should be about negative 3,000 percent by now. The public would have stormed the White House, seized the president and flogged him to death.

Here's a sample of New York Times headlines on stories discussing poll numbers since before the Iraq war began in March 2003:

— Poll Finds Most in U.S. Support Delaying a War (2/14/03)

— Opinions Begin to Shift as Public Weighs Costs of War (3/26/03)

— World's View of U.S. Sours After Iraq War, Poll Finds (6/4/03)

— Study Finds Europeans Distrustful of U.S. Global Leadership (9/4/03)

— Despite Polls, Pataki Backs Bush on Iraq All the Way (10/3/03)

— Poll Finds Hostility Hardening Toward U.S. Policies (3/17/04)

— Support for War Is Down Sharply, Poll Concludes (4/29/04)

— Rising Casualties, One Falling Poll (5/2/04)

— Polls Show Bush's Job-Approval Ratings Sinking (5/14/04)

— Bush's Rating Falls to Its Lowest Point, New Survey Finds (6/29/04)

And then — despite the fact that every single man, woman and child in America opposed the war in Iraq and despised George Bush — a few months later, Bush won re-election against well-respected war hero John Kerry.

Immediately after the election, public opinion polls showed Americans turning once again against the war and against George Bush, according to the Times:

— Americans Show Clear Concerns on Bush Agenda (11/23/04)

— Public Voicing Doubts on Iraq and the Economy, Poll Finds (1/20/05)

— Bad Iraq War News Worries Some in GOP on '06 Vote (8/18/05)

— Support for Bush Continues to Drop as More Question His Leadership Skills, Poll Shows (9/15/05)

— Iraq's Costs Worry Americans, Poll Indicates (9/17/05)

— Most Americans Find Cindy Sheehan Attractive, Interesting (2/8/06). OK, I made that one up. The rest were made up by the Times.

The media are constantly telling Americans what they believe: You are dissatisfied ... You are getting more dissatisfied ... You are slowly becoming utterly dissatisfied ... Your dissatisfaction is now reaching a fever pitch!

News coverage of public opinion polls is barely justifiable in an election year. When there's no horse race, these cooked-up polls are nothing more than the mainstream media's long, monotonous brainwashing of the public.

At least the old subliminal ads for popcorn in movie theaters operated by stealth. Today's mainstream media engage in open conditioning of the public in a fantastical scheme to shift public opinion.

Noticeably, there's always an odd disconnect between what the polls say and what people actually do.

Despite the fact that — according to the polls — the "American people" are fed up with the war Iraq, only a few hundred anti-war protesters showed up in New York City last weekend. The naked cowboy in Times Square gets a bigger crowd than that.

Despite the fact that polls show the public is ready to throw in the towel on Iraq, members of the House of Representatives, or "the people's house," recently voted 403-3 against withdrawing the troops.

Despite the fact that 70 percent of the public thinks Bush is doing a lousy job, when they had a chance to put someone else in the White House a mere 15 months ago, they decided to keep him.

There is, however, one poll taken by millions of Americans every day, year in, year out. Based on plummeting viewers, circulation numbers and ad rates, we can say with some certainty, the American people are beginning to loathe the liberal media.

That is why I appreciate Orrin Woodward and the Team so much:   They provide the information, motivation, and resources that enable and empower people to educate themselves enough to be able to think critically and see beyond the hype and sensationalism of the liberal media.  And then, the Team System goes even further in developing leaders who can, in turn, develop more leaders which has an exponential influence on the increased intellegence of the American people.  One person can make a difference. What have you done today to pay it forward and influence the reclaimed greatness of our culture?

"Always bear in mind that your own resolution to success is more important than any other one thing."

Abraham Lincoln

Some say success is just a decision away.  That may be true on the surface, but as the incredible results of Orrin Woodward and the Team demonstrate, that decision must be backed up with solid effort.  Orrin has said that a person with a winning attitude and a commitment to persevere accounts for 80 percent of the results in this country today.  What’s amazing is that the figures don’t change from year to year.  They stay pretty much the same.  Twenty percent of the people get 80 percent of the results while the other 80 percent are only getting 20 percent of the results.  Orrin and the Team know that the difference in producing 80% results is the decision backed up with the solid effort.  Your growth potential, the return on your investment, your rewards in proportion to your efforts, and your personal independence are limited only by your vision and determination.  Decide, engage, and resolve to succeed.  Have a fever for success!

Here's an interesting quote from Bill Gates that seems to be getting a lot of attention lately.

Quote of the day: Gates:

Bring on Google

"In terms of thought leadership, if someone said who's cool right now, obviously, Google would be high on the list there," Gates said, later adding, "Not many people are brave enough to compete with something with that kind of scale and momentum. Well, we are."

Google may be 'cool' right now, but so are we Bill, so are we.  And the Team has the leadership to help many, many other people succeed along with us. Not just the people at the top of the corporate pyramidical structure, like Google and Microsoft, but all the people that have goals and dreams and aspirations of their own that have helped Google and MS to the top.  Now it's time for them to begin helping themselves reach their goals and dreams.  The Team subscribes to the type of business success that is built upon helping other people succeed in the process.  Orrin Woodward and the Team system have the necessary tools, information, and business model to excel in every area of B2C eCommerce helping other people realize their goals and dreams. 

Our worldview determines how we see and understand everything.  Here is a recent posting on an Orrin Woodward site that identifies important beliefs that will determine the perspective with which we view, analyze, and comprehend all that we encounter in today's world.  The development of such beliefs certainly assists in the development of successful thinking.

Team Orrin Woodward's Belief System for Success

Not only does the number of people getting online keep growing, but the number of people using broadband is growing at a rate that is keeping pace with B2C e-commerce growth itself.  Twenty-eight percent growth over the past year bodes well for Orrin Woodward and the Team players.  The tide continues to rise for those whose ship is on the e-commerce waters and the Team is leading the pack with its specialized leadership development System.

Two-Thirds of US Web Users Now On Broadband

MARCH 16, 2006
A recent Comcast television commercial for its broadband services shows two turtles discussing the attributes of dial-up. These creatures may soon be the only non-broadband users left.

According to Nielsen//NetRatings, the number of active US broadband users from home increased by 28% last year, rising from 74.3 million in February 2005 to 95.5 million in February 2006.

While overall Internet penetration in the US has stabilized over the past few years, reaching 74% of households in February 2006, broadband penetration has risen steadily over the past four years.

From February 2003 to February 2004, US broadband users as a percentage of Internet users grew by 12 percentage points, and in February 2005 it increased another 10 percentage points. This year broadband users as a proportion of all Internet users increased an impressive 13 percentage points over the previous February, as 68% of all US Internet users reportedly connected via broadband.

As broadband penetration increases, so does the average time users spent on their PCs. That's because with faster connections users are devoting more time to online photos, audio and video sites — which previous required slow downloads. Since February 2003, the average PC time per person among active Web users has increased approximately five hours from 25.5 hours a month to 30.5 hours a month.

"The correlated growth in average PC time per person is the result of broadband users' greater satisfaction with their online experience," said Jon Gibs of Nielsen//NetRatings. "The 'always on' nature of a broadband connection allows the Internet to become more entrenched in consumers' lives."

With increased broadband penetration, Nielsen//NetRatings reports a growing trend toward accessing streaming media online at video sharing sites.

MSN Video garnered 9.3 million unique visitors in February 2006, growing 44% over the previous year. YouTube and Google Video grew from relative obscurity to substantial players, and iFilm and Yahoo's video search saw triple digit year-over-year growth.
