  • There is some truth to the 'political talking heads' and

    their broadcast stations are complicit when it comes to ignoring 'truths and facts'. The methods employed is all tied in how opinions are stated.
    - One problem I observe is statements lending selves to different interpretations. Could it be that allows the talking head or talking heads to claim I did not say or meant a point of view that brings 'heat'?

    - Another is no follow-up with facts after a candidate has presented an incomplete or false presentation.

    E.g. When the candidates speak on a trade deal or immigration, where are the facts to give a balanced view? ...or a question on those facts to the candidate?

    Example 1: Trade is always a 2-way street...where is the balance in presentation and what would be alternative outcomes?

    Example 2: Mexican immigrants are drug dealers, etc? Where is recognition of Mexican immigrants are teachers, doctors, scientists, etc? ...their spending power/contribution to circulation of money in the economy or supporters of businesses?

    Media is a different beast now. The days of expecting a particular media source to provide a balanced viewpoint are almost over.

    In the new media landscape you decide what type of news and opinion you want to hear and overindulge in that viewpoint and that viewpoint alone.
