While we’re on the subject today of the media not being honest by hiding what they don’t want to admit, check out this article.
Gallup has done “Most Admired Man” and “Most Admired Woman” polls for 74 years. For some reason, they apparently aren’t releasing one this year.
Why do you think that is?
From Did Gallup End ‘Most Admired’ 74-Year Polling Tradition to Avoid Trump Placing First?
The poll story has typically just hyped the first place finisher (even if it’s typically less than 20 percent), so Obama and President Joe Biden would likely have split the Democratic vote between them like last year, making it unlikely either would come in first place.
If that is indeed why Gallup has not released such a poll this year, it says something that one of the most prominent polling firms cited by the dominant media is so biased that they would choose not to do a poll, and break a 74-year tradition, if they expect not to approve of the results politically.
The last time Obama unequivocally came in first place was at the end of 2018, leading to coverage on ABC’s Good Morning America, CBS This Morning, the CBS Evening News, and the NBC Nightly News.
CNN\’s flagship morning show, New Day, also carried it, as did CNN Tonight with Don Lemon and Anderson Cooper 360. When Trump tied Obama in 2019, those same shows ignored it, although NBC’s Today did cover it.
But last year, when Trump pushed Obama to second place, those same shows all ignored it.
Trump lives rent free in their heads every day. Imagine being a professional polling firm that is so biased you ditch a 74-year tradition just so Trump supporters and President Trump himself won’t have the joy of winning what has become a largely meaningless poll in the Fourth Turning.
