    Mainstream TV news is such shallow bullshit. They’ll talk about the polling shifts like it’s the score in a game, but they will never analyze why Democrats have swung so hard against Israel. No mention whatsoever of anything in material reality here. Just purely numbers in a vacuum.

      It’s because their purpose isn’t to inform, it is to spread hate. Data points are used not as a means of understanding, but of spreading fear and hatred. They do the same thing with Bad Guy Countries as well. They’ll ignore reality and statistics when it suits them, only making reference to them when they can take a data point out of context to make their enemies look bad. (and in this case, the MSM is the enemy of the working class, so they’ll try and make them look bad).
