    Default The actual statistics......or how "news" distorts.

    The actual statistics......or how "news" distorts.

    Ever watched TV news or a talk show and been concerned with how much the country has changed? A recent poll conducted by a national polling firm "YouGov” questioned typical people on the street. The averaged answers are listed below.

    What percentage of the country is black? Answers 41%...
    Actual 13.6%
    If you watch commercials, you will think it is 90%.

    What percentage of marriages are mixed race? Answer 50%...
    Actual 1%.
    If you watch commercials, you will think it is 90%.

    What percentage is "Latino"? Answers 39%...
    Actual numbers 17%.

    How many families make over $500,000 a year? Answers 26%...
    Actual figure 1%.
    We think a quarter of the country is rich.

    What percent of Americans are vegetarians? Response? 30%…
    Actual 5%.

    What percent of Americans live in NY city? Answers? 30%...
    Actual 3%.

    What percentage of Americans are 'transgender? 22%...
    Actual number 1%

    What percentage of your fellow citizens are Gay? Result? 30%...
    Actual 3%.

    So why do people have such inaccurate thoughts on these counts?
    THE MEDIA!
    The media run race, gender, and wealth stories constantly.
    Result? We are being brainwashed by the media.
    Hitler’s propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels would be proud if he had half this success.

    Disney just went full-on "gender". They will no longer welcome guests with the traditional "Welcome ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls" Why? Because 1% of the population dictates to the other 99% (that would be the vast majority) and corporate America falls for it.

    Regardless of what you think, less than 20% of Americans use "Twitter" yet Twitter controls 80% of public opinion. Why? The media.
    Next time you are thinking Americans have changed and not in a good way, remember, it's fake. Most people think just like you do, but the media has brainwashed Americans with their constantly misleading WOKE broadcasts.
    This was forwarded by my father. No idea who to credit, but it's hardly anything new to me. I just got tired or pointing it out.

    The media has us believing all sorts of untrue sh*t. If the Biden Admin is so damned concerned about "misinformation" (so called when they don't know who to call liar -- Anyone on the right is a liar), they should try investigating themselves and the MSM.

    Watching TV, you would think all those 90%s that are actually 1%s were true.

    I'd bet that the 1% answer for transgenders is overestimated by 50% still.

    How many people own the media?
    If the freedom of speech is taken away
    then dumb and silent we may be led,

    The differentiator is that Joe and his idiot administration are FOR misinformation that will either make them money or push their agenda forward.......that agenda in the end circles right back around to making them money.

    I'm never sure who is in control of who. The Dems or the media. Looks like a perfect example of codependency to me.
