GET ME REWRITE: Media shirks its responsibility to advance media literacy education

 

This is what passes for journalism and polling in today's world.

NPR, 12/10/2021
Democrats have staked their political future on enacting President Biden's plans for trillions in social spending, but a new NPR/Marist poll shows that most voters are skeptical of the party's proposals. 
Just 41% of the survey's respondents said they support the Build Back Better bill, the roughly $2 trillion bill currently being negotiated in Congress. Nearly three-quarters of all Democrats said the support the bill but only 36% of independents and 13% of Republicans agreed.


Here are the lame questions about Biuld Back Better asked in the Marist poll. 

Support or oppose?

Lowering inflation

Creating better paying jobs

Helping people like you

What does any of this nonsense tell us about what people actually know about what's in the Build Back Better plan?

Absolutlely nothin'.
