This weekend I had a surplus of patience, and participated in a 20 minute push poll for John Fetterman. While the poll and interview questions started out somewhat neutral, toward the end each question wanted to know how I felt about some crime against humanity supposedly committed by Mehmet Oz, and if that information lowered my opinion of him.
The script seemed somewhat more sophisticated than the interviewer, who sometimes struggled reading it. While Oz was portrayed as the super-rich carpetbagger, in my limited exposure* Fetterman is outspending him.
In an apparent attempt to camouflage the push, there were a few other questions about other races. I was asked about Shapiro vs. Mastriano, and to rate Biden.
On the other election of local interest, Wild/Scheller, there were no questions. In that race, Wild has been filling up my mailbox with an endless barrage of expensive mailers, complaining about how much money Scheller has to spend.
*my select television stations do not air political ads
Mike, The Democrats are flush with cash and using it. Of course as that party is no longer the party of the working class but now is composed/controlled by the upper class, rich, and powerful so of course they have plenty of dough. The world turned upside down.
ReplyDeleteMaybe watching major network/cable news could provide some relevant information; ignorance doesn't. A Republican Congressman's wife died last week after ingesting "herbs" (bullshit supplements) pushed by Dr. Oz and right wing talk/TV hosts as miracle cure alls & fountain of youth aids.
ReplyDeleteanon@2:50AM, my footnote should have read that the stations I watch do not host political ads. the herb involved in Mrs. McClintock's death was never promoted by Oz. I prefer to watch and read news presented without a political agenda.
