Good answer, I salute you, but were you as open-minded when Biden steered the ship be honest now.
I think I posted about dishonest media and algorithms all the way back in 2016.
Boring story but this is how it started:
Someone posted a headline saying "50% of Republicans believe Trump won the popular vote"......
I thought that seemed odd. Not putting it past some Republicans being morons, but 50%? Didn't seem right.
So I clicked on the article, and it had a chart, at the bottom, it had a link to the data. So I clicked that.
Data set was 1,100 folks interviewed. OK, that's a fair sample I thought.
So you would think for the headline to be true, it should be 1,100 R's sampled, with 550 of them saying he won the popular vote.
But nope.......1000 of the folks sampled got it RIGHT, leaving 100 dumbasses who got it wrong.
Of those remaining 100 dumbasses:
50 were Republicans
35 were Democrats
15 no affiliaton.
They they took 50/100 and said "50% of Republicans".....which is wrong...it was 50 R's out of 1100 sampled.....and by that, it was 35 D's out off 1100........so not 50%......but only a 15 person difference overall......
So their own data contradicted their headline.
After that, I started independently checking on stuff I read, and found it was much worse. The emergence of social media has only amplified it, to the point we are at now.
Believe me, I HATE that we can't trust our media. It causes so much harm, stress and damage to our country that it's immeasurable.
And it's only gotten worse going after Trump.
