The media obsess over predictions, polls, statements, mis-statements, nuances, opinions, speculation and narratives. Their profession has evolved into trying to develop the grabber or gotcha headline, rather than reporting the news, the truth and the facts.
As a result, people who listen or watch any news at all are constantly frustrated about what to believe and what not to believe. It's easy to be frustrated when over 80 percent (according to the Media Research Center and Harvard) of the so-called news is negative about President Trump and his administration.
To ease your frustration, be reminded that results matter more than headlines or sound-bites, which are usually forgotten once the results are known.
Opinion polls and voter intentions are even more inaccurate because of inadequate sample sizes, biased sample sizes
Example! The Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank forecasted 2nd quarter GDP growth of 4.3 percent two weeks ago. Once new information became available, they updated their forecast to 4 percent for the 2nd quarter.
I'm not mad that they revised it down! With a little over 20 days to go in this quarter, it still says the actual growth will be in the 4 percent range, which is about double the pitiful 2 percent annual growth we experienced for eight years.
On my daily radio show, we report the weekly jobless claims from the Labor Department every week. That number lasts about a week until the real result is released based on better and more information the following week.
Opinion polls and voter intentions are even more inaccurate because of inadequate sample sizes, biased sample sizes, and maybe an inadequate cross section of voters to be representative of the entire population.
Think about it! How can a poll with 500 people in it represent what 100 million voters think? It may be a good benchmark if the methodology is solid, but it's not the end result.
Democrats and their liberal media allies want to slow down and stop this path to more national prosperity. They can't stop it so they deny it and lie about it.
Or how can a poll of 1,000 people represent the president's approval rating when there's more than 320 million people in this country? Add the impact of over 80 percent negative reporting of this president, and the president's approval rating is even more questionable.
Look at the actual results by this administration! The economy is getting better, businesses are doing better with regulatory rollbacks, and people's lives are getting better with better job and career opportunities. Results matter!
I'm not totally discounting perceptions, predictions and polls, I'm just warning that they do not represent the actual results, which matter most.
Political discourse is even more frustrating for a lot of people, especially in this media environment charged with Trump Derangement Syndrome. Solution! Stay focused on the results.

America is not broken. We're focused on results.
