"More than half of Americans think media bias is a bigger problem in politics today than the money that flows into campaigns," says a new poll, with 55% finding the biased media to blame against 32% who finger the giant campaign contributions. No breakdown on how many of those 55% think the problem is the media's bias against doing extensive reporting on how those gigantic campaign contributions affect the political process, but I'm sure it's a bunch, right?
And 100% of those 55% watch Fox News.
Or something, I was never any good with numbers.
Balk as you suggest, a topic this complicated requires viewing from multiple angles and extensive deep background questions about a number of factors, including the pollster's track record and its methodology. All the numbers and nuance, the adjustments and algorithms could confuse even the most seasoned reporter. It's clear there's only one wordsmith capable of taking on a topic this complex and summarizing it in a form which a layman can understand not only the end result, but the multiple layers of assumptions and yes, good ole fashioned figure-crunching.
SOMEBODY GET ME DANIEL D'ADDARIO!
Thank Heavens that 55% are just too darn smart to fall for any of it. Which means it's not that big of a problem. Which means the 55% are too fucking dumb to figure out just how darn smart they are.
And how are we supposed to regulate media bias exactly?
No no no. You subsidize it.
kill 'em all, let mara sort 'em out?
