“The poorly thought out focus group featured on Sunday’s “Face the Nation” included a grand total of six people who were identified as three Biden voters and three Trump voters. But all of them sounded like Trump voters.”
“In CBS’s aired focus group, not one person uttered a word of support for the president, who in the latest Fox News poll has a 47 percent approval rating.”
“At the New York Times, its recent focus group consisted of 14 so-called “independent” voters, **none of whom think Biden can improve the economy,** even though a record 6.4 million new jobs were created during his first term.”
“These recent focus groups have also been a fountain of misinformation. That means on “Face the Nation,” a voter was able to announce it takes “12 days” (!) to get results from at-home Covid testing kits, when the results are known within minutes.”

astounding what that company has done to its corporate imagine by refusing to stand up, ever, to the torrent of Rogan lies during a public health crisis
2. Not only are the media sessions too small and too infrequent, they’re also set up all wrong. Focus groups are designed to record extended reactions that a small group of participants have when they experience something together.
3. Focus groups are meant to gauge the response to a specific stimulus.
Gathering moderate and swing voters and have them watch Biden’s upcoming State of Union speech and then recording their impressions would be a helpful way to use focus groups in the political arena
**this** is the conversation the country and media need to be having
not the, 'gee why does Murdoch allow misinformation on his network?'
“The U.S. has become a global leader in pandemic lies, and that’s because of Murdoch, who rushed to get vaccinated one year ago. All that while the network churns out lies about the pandemic and it couldn’t care less that nearly one million Americans have died”
bc poll shows Dems are doing common sense things to protect themselves during global pandemic, NYT paints them as zealots so they can Both Sides the virus—see they’re both irrational!
meanwhile, @DLeonhardt is completely perplexed why older Americans are less concerned abt getting Covid
spoiler—it’s bc they’re overwhelmingly vaccinated!
