Drug addiction is the number 4 concern - but the leading media hardly take it seriously
The TV-Debate illustrated multiple results: 1) some of the top concerns (see the PEW Ranking in this graph) bothering the voters were touched – but most not. 2) Kamela Harris was able to make her case – all post-polls underline her request to go for a second TV debate. 3) Paul Krugman highlighted an observa-tion which rarely is addressed in the opinion leading media, since the topic of age faded: “Many people get worse as they grow older because they become more like themselves” The unresolved problem of drug addiction is one of the top 5 concerns that have been on the nation's mind for years – but it was not addressed in the TV-Debate.

A real TV debate should include the simple question to both of them: What do you intend to do to atleast reduce the rate of unnatural deaths? In 999 out of 1000 cases, drug addiction has to do with living conditions that are unbearable from a personal perspective. Politics can't do everything - but if you can't provi-de a solid perspective for as many people as possible, why would you deserve the Oval Office?
Top concern No. II: Dems and Reps lack respect
20 years ago today, Yale University hosted one of its US Presidential Election Debates. Looking at the media tenor analyses, Ed Luttwak asked the oppressive question: “Will Democracy Survive the Media?” Together with the Harvard Kennedy School's Shorenstein Center, we have been presenting data like that in this report ever since. They make it hard for journalists to wash their hands of the question, “Why are Dems and Reps so bad at working together?” like Pontius Pilate in his days.

Problems Pile Up in America – But Leading Media Ignore Concerns
For decades, the analysts at Media Tenor have been evaluating the most important news programs of selected US broadcasters on a daily basis: Which topics are at the forefront of coverage, which politicians, companies, researchers are visible with approaches to solutions? Using the example of the news content of CBS on the one hand and FOX on the other, we have been showing since 2013 how far removed the broadcasters are from the fears of their audience when setting their agenda: It's not just 2024 that inflation tops the list when PEW pollsters ask people about their biggest concerns.

Republican candidates: Does visibility make or break success in the polls?
Zurich/New York, 12/8/2023. By gaining the support of multi-billionaire Charles Koch, Nikki Haley, former member of the Trump administration and United States Ambassador to the United Nations, has significantly improved her chances of competing with her former boss Donald Trump in the primaries for the US presidency, in the eyes of the international media. But FOX News' ongoing analysis (Special Report with Bret Baier) for the period January to November 2023 shows that Haley has a huge visibility gap to overcome in order to become a familiar face to the Republican Party's base voters.

Women are visible as news presenters, but only make up 20% of the actual news
Zurich, March 7, 2023. Although quotas have been established officially or unofficially in the studios of many TV stations, this largely only applies to news presenters. When it comes to content, the balance is still disappointing:
