After major elections, news agencies slice and dice the electorate, declaring massive demographic realignments and historic swings. But did millions of voters actually switch parties — or is the media completely misreading the story?
Today, Josh exposes the truth behind the midterm headlines. He breaks down how the news networks rely on the same pool survey while packaging flawed data as fact. He busts the persistent myth of widespread “voter switching,” and reveals what actually drove the election results.
Then, Josh takes on a problematic new survey pushing claims about Jewish voters. And Michigan’s Senator-Elect Abdul El-Sayed goes on an unchecked media blitz promoting dangerous lies. While reporters sit silently, Josh applies the basic rules of journalism to hold power to account.
Plus: Your questions and comments about the election… Voters ranked Middle East issues involving Israel and Palestinians much less important this time than they did back in 2002… And how this show will hold the next Congress accountable.
