There’s something that always irritates me and of course it happens every day and no matter how hard I try, I can’t avoid it. This occurs on every news channel and every politically oriented podcast (even some that aren’t particularly politically oriented). You’ve heard this too, even if you never watch or listen to anything that is the slightest political. For me it’s when, especially in politically oriented media, a person uses the phrase, all Americans, or all of America. I always question how this is known.Is there a poll? Well, sometimes there’ll be a mention of a poll but I’ve never seen one where 100% of American voters, either registered or likely, agree on anything. There’s always going to be a majority of sorts, but none at 100%.

But for sure, none of us should ever believe what we hear on any news channel about any candidate or any issue in which we might have interest. Why? In case you’ve been living in a cave the last 3 decades, the media have their own biases and they’re as interested in keeping attention on those that they believe are important as any politician. and as we’ve learned over the past few cycles, polls aren’t always representative of what people actually believe. Trump would not have been elected in 2016 if the pools were accurate.

Maybe it’s time that we remember that not only the polls e need to ignore, but the media as well, who have their pwn agenda.
