The people in power also control public opinion, slowly but surely molding the minds of the sheep. A TV report here, a newspaper story there... some grandiose speeches talking about foreign enemies with supposedly irrational leaders (i.e. the so-called axis of evil), and the sheep will follow. 95% of people are lemmings. Their opinion is worthless. One independant-minded intellectual is worth more than 10,000 ignorant lemmings (another reason why democracy is inherently flawed).
