I don't really care who these articles talk about, Biden, Trump, whoever it may be!
The media and pollsters can't escape criticism when they are selectively publishing. They have to be held to account for taking a political position over just reporting the facts without cherry-picking.
Local readers should be far more worried about the quality of local reporting, or polls, than what some remote politician is doing!
There is no point sledging politicians when much of the material people read is tainted by the media organisation's or pollster's politics.
The summary offered in that ABC report constructed via selective reporting parts of a larger IPSOS poll is the same dodgy mechanism that allowed all the Ivermectin metadata studies to persist. It's not lost on me that the ABC wouldn't hesitate to highlight the dodgy Ivermectin studies, then it acts the very same way! Of course the ABC if cornered would claim it's only an opinion(a selected perspective) and not a broad summary.
It's the willingness for local media and think tanks to cherry-pick in the hope of garnishing or matching public opinion(Ratings pay$) that allows nefarious entities like China and Russia to succeed in corrupting the debate.
There is a significant difference between blogging for dollar$, and unbiased professional reporting!
