As many as 80% of Israelis believe Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must take responsibility for the security failures exposed by the devastating Oct. 7 assault on Israeli by Hamas, a poll in the Ma'ariv newspaper showed on Friday.
This is almost the exact same article that was posted last week, except this time from Reuters instead of JPost. They both reference polls done by Maariv, but once again fail to link to actual poll results. Am I taking crazy pills here for wanting to see the actual poll? Wtf is up with modern journalism?
Nah, people are getting exactly what they want. People don't want boring real news. People want inflammatory headlines and want drama and bloodshed. Putting this on media is silly. If people wanted the boring real unbiased news they'd be producing it. People want news that agrees with their world view.
There is choice??? There are literally thousands upon thousands of news sites. There are so many options. But the successful ones are successful because it is what people want. Isn't that hard to realize. Conspiracy brain rot is too strong these days.
Modern journalism is about being first and the CTA is user interaction. So basically the popular method is to create as extreme headline as possible as early as possible without any need for proof.
I don't find that to be the case. I always make it a point to check the actual polls instead of relying on the headlines, and it's usually pretty easy to find. For some reason, this particular poll has been reported multiple times in the last week and I've never been able to find a link to it. Last week someone even looked at the Israeli website of the people conducting the poll and still couldn't find it.
