		<description>Polls pushed Biden out of the race? I’m pretty sure his performance while debating Trump was the deciding factor. You think Biden could have won re-election anyways? Lol, it’s very clear that our media lies , they are sent a script of exactly what to report and what not to report and the words to use when reporting it! Our media is controlled… it’s scary that you are so sure you have it all figured out.</description>

		<description>Ps I think Fox fired the guy who reported in 2020 that Biden won because the conservative viewers didn&#039;t want to hear or believe that. But, he knew the districts..He knew how many people lived there and how much votes a candidate had to win. He was a expert and they should kept him on but they caved to their viewers. That&#039;s to me is being dishonest. Networks have to tell people the truth whether they want to hear it or not. They can&#039;t put ratings above the truth in reporting</description>

		<description>In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.ourvalleyvoice.com/2024/04/18/letter-honest-media-must-break-free-from-polls-stick-to-facts/#comment-140237&quot;&gt;DW&lt;/a&gt;.

The media isn&#039;t dishonest. Most reporters &#038; news outlets try to do a good job. People just don&#039;t like what the media reports. So, conservatives turn to Fox and liberals MSNBC because they don&#039;t want to hear anything negative against the candidate they support. Polls are only a snapshot in time. Next week they maybe completely different. Polls pushed Biden out of the race but I think he still could&#039;ve won re-election. As the election gets closer the polls become more accurate because it&#039;s still summer and people are still on vacation. But, it&#039;s hard to poll people because most people today have cell phones. The main thing you have to not rely on 1 poll but what majority say and the accurate history of a poll. I generally watch :CNN ,MSNBC ,ABC,CBS and NBC but on election nite I want to look at Fox because they usually are the first to call a race. Their biased and pro republican but their usually the first to call a race on election nite.</description>

		<description>The trouble with the media today is that its dishonest. I wouldn&#039;t get to stuck on poll numbers but the more that people find the media distrustful, the more we might see more people begin to wake up.</description>

		<description>I have never trusted politically driven polls.  I simply don&#039;t pay attention to any of them, and I hate that ALL news media constantly quote them as if they were the gospel truth. I have always respected Tim Miller&#039;s straight talk and rarely find fault with his take on things.  I can remember when news stations and their anchors were respected and trusted.  We relied on them. 
Sadly, most cable news sites have become just another arm pushing political agendas, so I no longer view them. I see the majority of these cable news shows as more of paid infotainment with some being more entertaining than others.</description>
