How The Media Successfully Programs Democrats

A new Axios-Ipsos poll Finds A majority of Republicans view fentanyl/opioids as the biggest threat for public health. Democrats, however, are more likely to name guns. Axios co-founder Jim VandeHei Tweet It was “wild” These conservatives believed this. After some blowback, VandeHei Clarified He tweeted that he meant to say that the political division was “wild.” But it is not for the reasons he believes.

According to the CDC, there are an estimated 106,000 Americans died In 2022, from drug overdoses And that’s likely to be around 67 percent. Get involved synthetic opioids like fentanyl — which, if I punched in the number correctly, adds up to around 71,000 deaths.

In 2022, around 44,000 Americans died Gun-related deaths. According to the CDC more than half of gun deaths are due to suicide. This means that there is a need to improve mental health and community involvement rather than useless gun legislation. Guns used in suicides were responsible for the deaths of around 20,000 people. This number includes many accidents, which is why pollsters love to inquire about. “gun access”).

Were more Americans aware that fentanyl was more dangerous than guns in their hands, would the national debate have the same outcome? You never know.

It reminds me of how media coverage of each natural disaster is seen as an exceptional occurrence, convincing people that the Earth may be in its final days. Or how endless hand-wringing about it. “inequality” It gives the impression that America has become awash with poverty.

Quick example:

The same Axios poll story that we were told is also included in the Axios poll story. “Nearly half of Americans — 47% — say insurers should cover transgender-related medical care. That’s a deeply partisan issue: 77% of Democrats favor it; just 16% of Republicans do.” Why isn’t that the takeaway? 52 percent AmericansDespite all the efforts to normalize transgenderism in an endless effort, why isn’t there insurance that covers related medical procedures?
