    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?

      Nobody wants to pay for news; which means nobody gets paid well to report it. So here we are in this dumpster fire of modern journalism.

        It’s also held to literally no standards whatsoever, so unlike scientific journals they don’t need to show all of the source data or list references.

        More like people stopped paying for the news because it became a dumpster fire. You got confused there my friend.

          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.

            Same old story: you give people no choice and when they make the only choice you left them you use that to justify your actions.

              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.

        Yeah, they’re putting a lot of old conspirancies under a brand new light. Too much control on the news environment.

      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.

      It’s a pile of horse garbage

      It took Joe Biden to travel to Israel to Scooby Doo the Middle East and tell us who the real perpetrator of the conflict is.

      Honestly, no news sites actually like the poll unless they’re the ones that do it. (Youll sometimes see Fox link to a fox poll for example)

      I dont know why this is. Maybe they don’t want you to leave their site?

        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.
