Surveys conducted by the electronic media should not be taken seriously. They can be tailored to show a pre-determined result.
It is not easy to believe that any parents of school children being used as hostages in a teacher's strike for less work and more pay would approve of what their hard-earned tax money is buying..
Yet, the media comes up with numbers clearly designed to give viewers the impression that an overwhelming majority of parents approve of this.
Getting the right answers is easy. Media snoops stick a microphone and camera in as many people's faces as they need to get the answers they want. They discard the rest.
Then they down play or disregard entirely the other side of the story and present this as news.
