Political pundits are pretty much the same.
Case in point: the current French elections. The “news” people got it exactly wrong. It was predicted that the far Right would probably win the majority. Nope. It was the far Left that did really well followed by the Center. The Right came in far behind.
As it turns out far Right policies have limited appeal these days. Too bad the pundits missed it. It’s likely they got caught up in their own little echo chamber.
While my knowledge of French politics is limited I see some of the same forces at work here. “News” organizations have drifted far from just covering the facts. Almost all of them have their own agenda.
In the US polls have been proven inaccurate election after election. Does anyone know how to do real reporting anymore?
At any rate, it’s going to be interesting.

Or perhaps the polls wanting the violent immigrants deported we accurate BUT as Stalin said
ReplyDelete"Its Important the people vote.
It's VERY IMPORTANT who Counts the votes. "
But all good thinking people Know vote fraud NEVER happens. Powerful politicians are always ready to be voted out of office by their citizens.
Power and graft isn't important to politicians.
