About this episode
By now most of us know about Rasmussen Polls. Many of us go to Real Clear Politics during the day to see how poorly the President is doing in his daily popularity poll. For those who haven’t checked lately…it’s as bad as any President in modern times 42% approval, 57% disapprove. Some polls have his support at 35%. Based on a poll of how the media covers politics, if I had to guess, President Biden must only watch the mainstream media.A Rasmussen poll (see below) that comes out once a week paints a sorry picture of the state of America’s media and politics. Polling of real people indicate that most Americans are interested in 1) rising gas prices, 92% 2) Inflation, 91% 3) Violent Crime 90%, 4) Election Integrity, 79%, School Issues 76%However, when the polling company tracked what stories people we’re seeing on the nightly news, this is what most likely led or was given extensive coverage, 1) Climate Change 64%, 2) Ukraine War 60%, 3) Capital Riot Investigation, 57%, 4) COVID-19 57%, 5) LGBTQ+++++++++ 57%.Pretty shocking. Complete disconnect. Every once in a while the MSM sends a reporter into the heartland to interview a farmer or a barber and they are always shocked to learn that the issues the media chooses, are not ones real people are talking about. In flyover country, schools matter. CRT and transgender story-hour for third graders doesn’t go over well.Urban, white elites are not real people, although you’d never know it based on the amount of noise they make. These are people who “insist” on US using their proper pronouns to ensure that we are keenly aware of their gender preferences. And they will be outrageously upset if you don’t. These are people who think an 8-month old fetus is just a glob of cells. These are people who think the Supreme Court should be stacked because the majority’s decisions differ from theirs. And because they have moral superiority, it’s okay to break the law by not protecting Supreme Court justices and allowing illegal aliens to cross into our country. Oh, and did I mention you are a racist, if you had the misfortune of being born white. It’s because the noisy, pompous elite care more about your color or your race or your gender preference than where you are on the socio-economic ladder. They care more about diversity than class. They will never admit that competent economic policy raises all, in spite of your minority status. If they do admit it, it’s over. The Big Con would be exposed. Their entire movement depends on racial, ethnic and gender specific minorities continuing to think of themselves as victims.One lefty has turned tail. Ruy Teixeira was up until a month ago, one of Washington’s most prominent left-leaning think-tank scholars, a fixture at the Center for American Progress since the liberal organization’s founding in 2003.
