The media definitely puts their own spin on the numbers for certain. I wish we had reporters who spoke the truth and didn't try to convince you who they think we should vote for. When I was young they reported the truth. I miss those days.
If there was a fully-transparent, honest, ad non-opinionated media company it would fail to be successful as a business. The overwhelming majority of Americans demand opinions, drama, and confirmation bias above all else and the media gives them exactly what they want. It is hugely successful.
