Tropical Soulvangelical has proclaimed the need for journalistic standards when it comes to certain kinds of polling and economic reporting. First on the polling. TSV's proclamation is for there to be properly weighting of the polls rather than a cave into confirmation bias. Otherwise, he doesn't see the polls as having either informational or social value for the whole populace, as opposed to being served as red meat to a collective of political factions that clearly don't represent the reality of popular opinion. So even after you do that and you -still- get a ''finding'' of well Only 40 Percent Of People Favor X, why not poll those that favor that thing to find out why, and what -their- point of view is, and what their views are regarding that which TSV sees amounting to Tyranny Of The Majority. Second, economic reporting, and again TSV sees the need for there to be the same dive-down wisdom, and proper weighting. If you do your proper weighting, and you -still- get the same reporting of economic hardship, find out whether it's because during the Power Of Positive Thinking 2010s in which TSV was forced to lose a job when the economy was Doing Great for everyone else, those reporting hardship now engaged in an ongoing spree of discretionary spending that didn't leave anything in the way of an emergency fund or savings of some sort. TSV sees something wrong when someone's breaking the speed limit with a black and windshield tinted SUV turning into a mansion style property with the bumper sticker of something to the effect of "I'm Poor And I Blame TSV's Guy For It Whoever That Is." There are many reasons why TSV was forced out of that job, and one of those was that even in the face of a Doing Great Economy, he still made the point of saving as best he can, because that's the personally responsible thing to do. Otherwise, what have you got to say for yourself on Judgment Day? But because he saved, the loss of that one job is clear to him as a form of social retaliation. Also, TSV says to watch out for insinuations. "Hunger has increased"? Well does that mean to say that it's Person X's fault? TSV advises extreme caution on how we're reporting certain things.
