The media was not “seduced by polls”. It was status quo for the side wing of the DNC. The media was working to seduce low information and malleable women voters.
And, the media who interpret and report on polls are liberal. They are members of the Washington/New York media axis. Their world view compels them to interpret polls in a certain way. And this is reflected in their reporting.
I’m thinking it’s the old “follow the money”.
Who got rich off all the ads paid for by Hollywood and liberal billionaires?
Network news is reporting politics in a way that enhances their bottom line. They hire liberal reporters because those reporters have the passion of true believers to sell the lie, which makes more money for the networks.
News is just another fake reality show.
