When politicians will make referendums for some things they might believe, that they are very nice people. It looks good, when political leaders ask people of the nation, what they want. And this is, of course, a part of democracy. But the problem with that kind of political leadership is that people would probably not know everything about the thing, what the referendum concerns, and if people don't know or think all parts of that thing, they will make decisions with feeling.
When we are talking about feelings, they are a big part of people life. And do you know why Brexit was possible? Media or reporters found only bad things about EU, and after that, they made possible, that the United Kingdom will separate from the European Union. Populists know what kind of promises they must give to the people. They promise money or something concrete like new hospitals to people, and of course, universities and study grants are very bad expenditure for the society, because those things make bad thing to the political leaders, who want to plead average person feelings and if payment of academic year is high and study grants low, they will give more services to people.
The problem with the journalists is that they are normal people, who see what the hosts want to show them. This is a normal question about democracy and journalism. If somebody is very plausible when he or she gives a performance, that might confirm reporters that information what will give to them is absolutely right. And that makes the manipulation of the press possible.
If the reporter writes something to media, the people automatically think that information is given by the real expert, who have all information about that thing. And that will make that information very dangerous. If the performer shows fictional or false information and claims that he or she has some kind of education of that thing, the text what reporter makes might be false.
And what makes that kind of information more effective for that reporter? If that performer is cute or so-called "teddy bear" the reporter might not show criticism in that situation. And populists know what makes people confirm that information is absolutely true? If the slides will be boosted with titles like "Ph.D." or name of well-known enterprise leader, they might have a great effect on people.
Or if we think little bit sharper, there is only one person, who the performer need to confess. That is a reporter, who makes that text. Readers of media are not in the place, where performance is given, and they can't know who the performer really is. And that makes possible to conduct false information to the media, by the reporter who knows what he or she sees.
