      abstract = {The media regularly use public opinion polls in their  reporting of important news stories. But how exactly do  they report them and to what end? In this interview,  Professor Justin Lewis demonstrates the way in which  polling data are themselves used by media to not just  reflect what Americans think but instead to construct  public opinion itself. Addressing issues such as the role  the media play in "manufacturing consent" for political  elites, what polls really tell us about public opinion, and  what Americans actually think about politics, the program  provides a new way to think about the relationship between  politics, media and the public.},
