The Experts vs. the Voters By J. B. Williams
Modern political analysts are a breed all their own, a mixed cross between statistician, news-hound, political junkie, and covert campaign operative. There is no such thing as an "unbiased" political analyst or political reporter. They all have personal views and personal preferences and none of them can separate those personal thoughts from how they perceive or report political events.
In recent years, the newsroom has become more about shaping public perceptions than about reporting current events in a forthright effort to keep the public openly informed. When it comes to politics, this practice becomes a Hulk-like, steroid drenched, overbearing monster focused upon driving public perception and shaping the outcome of elections.
