This is almost the exact same article that was posted last week, except this time from Reuters instead of JPost. They both reference polls done by Maariv, but once again fail to link to actual poll results. Am I taking crazy pills here for wanting to see the actual poll? Wtf is up with modern journalism?

Nobody wants to pay for news; which means nobody gets paid well to report it. So here we are in this dumpster fire of modern journalism.

It's also held to literally no standards whatsoever, so unlike scientific journals they don't need to show all of the source data or list references.

More like people stopped paying for the news because it became a dumpster fire. You got confused there my friend.

IDF have way too much god damned influence is the problem with modern journalism

[–] ShroOmeric@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, they're putting a lot of old conspirancies under a brand new light. Too much control on the news environment.

It took Joe Biden to travel to Israel to Scooby Doo the Middle East and tell us who the real perpetrator of the conflict is.

Modern journalism is about being first and the CTA is user interaction. So basically the popular method is to create as extreme headline as possible as early as possible without any need for proof.

It's a pile of horse garbage

FWIW the times of israel also reported on this.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Did they link to the poll or just talk about the results?

[–] meekah@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Just talk absolut the results as well

[–] nbafantest@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Honestly, no news sites actually like the poll unless they're the ones that do it. (Youll sometimes see Fox link to a fox poll for example)

I dont know why this is. Maybe they don't want you to leave their site?

I don't find that to be the case. I always make it a point to check the actual polls instead of relying on the headlines, and it's usually pretty easy to find. For some reason, this particular poll has been reported multiple times in the last week and I've never been able to find a link to it. Last week someone even looked at the Israeli website of the people conducting the poll and still couldn't find it.
