You're probably assuming that the primary purpose of a news story is to inform the public. If we assume instead that the purpose is to attract viewership, things start to fall into place. Facts become less important than drama, pertinent details a lower priority than presentation. An incorrect pronunciation or poorly used technical term that leaves an invalid impression is irrelevant, and in the more extreme cases, outright lies become acceptable.

In Mr Jackson's case, his expertise is in evoking emotion. Logic is not in his playbook - whether by choice or by nature, who knows. Hate is a powerful political tool and he wields it very well - or did anyway. He seems to have lost his touch lately.

You're not going to reach these kinds of people because you're not just playing by different rules - you're playing an entirely different game.
