Media's Influence
YouGov | 2/11/2023 | unknown

Posted on 02/11/2023 6:18:36 AM PST by sodpoodle

A recent poll was conducted by a national polling firm. This one was "YouGov”. Results to these questions were asked to average people on the street.

What percentage of the country is black? Answers 41%... Actual 12%. If you watch commercials, you will think it is 90%.

What percentage of marriages are mixed race? Answer 50%...Actual 1%. If you watch commercials, you will think it is 90%.

What percentage is "Latino"? Answers 39%... Actual numbers 17%.

How many families make over $500,000 a year? Answers 26%... Actual figure 1%. We think a quarter of the country is rich.

What percent of Americans are vegetarians? Response? 30%… Actual 5%.

What percent of Americans live in NY city? Answers? 30%... Actual 3%.

What percentage of Americans are 'transgender? 22%... Actual number 1%

What percentage of your fellow citizens are Gay? Result? 30%... Actual 3%.

So why do people have such inaccurate thoughts on these counts? THE MEDIA! The media run race, gender, and wealth stories constantly. Result? We are being brainwashed by the the media. Hitler’s propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels would be proud if he had half this success.

Disney just went full-on "gender" They will no longer welcome guests with the traditional "Welcome ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls" Why? Because 1% of the population dictates to the other 99% (that would be the vast majority) and corporate America falls for it.

Regardless of what you think, less than 20% of Americans use "Twitter" yet Twitter controls 80% of public opinion. Why? The media.

Next time you are thinking Americans have changed and not in a good way, remember, it's fake. Most people think just like you do, but the media has brainwashed Americans with their constantly misleading broadcasts.

The enemedia’s circulation figs and ratings are a dumpster fire.

How can the enemedia be to blame when so few are consuming it?

If people are ignorant, they are the ones to blame.

“What percentage of marriages are mixed race? Answer 50%...Actual 1%.”

I recently moved to the Detroit area and I’m amazed at the number of mixed race marriages here, mostly white women black men. It was extremely rare when I grew up in this area, didn’t really see then.

Probably a localized thing, however I would be it is increasing based on the media and the indoctrination (education) system.

Incidentally my wife and I are different races.

It’s not just the media. Take a look at the clothing catalogs you get from LL Bean and Lands End and also the print communications from your health care providers and local hospitals. All the models in these booklets and catalogs are either Black or Hispanic or Asian or Haitian. And a lot of them appear to be LGBTQ. You don’t see White models anymore. It’s like if you are a U.S. corporation and you dare to show a White model in any of your communications, you will be accused of racism or worse and sued. I have to believe that is why they do this. It’s stupid business sense to pander to 10 percent of your customer base while refusing to reflect the image and identity of the remaining 90 percent.

At the risk of sounding cliche, one of my best friends is in a mixed-race marriage. I suspect it's more prevalent in cities than other areas. It's what's in the heart that matters.

As for being biased by the media, let me add this with regard to America being a "has been" nation. Sure, The End will come some day. However, America is an economic fortress. Fortresses come under assault and take hits. But America and her fortress economy stand alone.

Before the Eeyores start in, here are a few things for perspective.

America makes up 4% of the world's population...

...and yet we crank out 24% of the planet's GDP.

And while we are at the top of the Countries that Consume the Most Oil (2020 barrels per day)

United States — 17,178,000
China — 14,225,000
India — 4,669,000
Saudi Arabia — 3,544,000
Japan — 3,268,000
Russia — 3,238,000
South Korea — 2,560,000
Brazil — 2,323,000
Canada — 2,282,000
— Germany 2,045,000

...we also top the list of Countries with the Highest Oil Production (barrels per day)

United States - 11,567,000
Russia - 10,503,000
Saudi Arabia - 10,225,000
Canada - 4,656,000
Iraq - 4,260,000
China - 3,969,000
United Arab Emirates - 2,954,000
Brazil - 2,852,000
Kuwait - 2,610,000
Iran - 2,546,000

Thus, we Americans, making up only 4% of the planet's headcount, produce about a quarter of GDP - punching way above our weight. In relative contrast, China is a joke.

And if THAT wasn't cool enough, America's 4% of the population is at the top of the equity market food chain:

And, of course, we win the gun race by a mile...

....but we're not losing the murder race.

As for the national debt, we have trillions in untapped oil and gas and mineral resources. IER estimated the worth of the government’s oil and gas technically recoverable resources to the economy to be about 8 times our national debt.

There are lots of problems in the US, but did you notice that even the economic doom newsletter sellers always take payment in fiat currency? Don't be deceived. There is much for which we should be thankful.

It’s all planned, it’s not products that are being advertised anymore, it’s blacks that are being advertised and promoted along with mixed-race marriages. Let’s face it there are few NEW AND IMPROVED products to advertise, so the Media Moguls are now working overtime to propagandize and degrade the country so that it becomes more chaotic. For some really sick reason, they think that it will benefit themselves.

I was watching a cable show last night and 5 out of 6 commercials had black, Hispanic or Asian actors as the main characters. Most of the couples were mixed race which was usually the token white husband. WTF is going on in this country?

True. Next time you go to Target, try to see a white model depicted in their store displays. You will search in vain. Same with their commercials.

I saw a Twitter thread recently where someone asked, “Have you seen any white people in commercials lately?” The answers were interesting. Canadians reported that they only see whites in commercials for euthanasia. Many reported seeing whites only in commercials for funeral homes and cremations. Looks like advertisers expect whites to die off soon, and the future is nonwhite.

I have noticed commercials targeted at older people often show a white senior citizen couple with a mixed-race grandchild.

The media thinks that we are all stupid, where, in fact, they are the stupid low IQ fools.

In general, advertising is designed to be an emotional appeal to stupid and/or irrational people.

I don’t know any white man who has ever bought something where advertising has had even a 1% role in the purchase decision.

I couldn’t find a link on YOUGOV that listed all these findings or really any of them. Do you have a single link for this?

Ads for upcoming movies but that's about it. I'll run across a great one I didn't know about and it'll be because it's studio failed to publicize it right.

Consider how radio and television waves travel travel through space in linear fashion. An approaching spacecraft (if not traveling Faster Than Light via tech currently beyond humanity) would pick up our transmissions oldest to newest. They'd have to assume Caucasians suffered a catastrophic depletion while deviancy became commonplace. Upon arrival they'd be surprised and mystified over the deceptive messaging.

confused

Not that the globalists and eco-fanatics aren't trying.
