Neither Harris nor Trump's positions on education are shown on CBS or FOX

Education is and remains the key to a successful life: in professional life, it not only determines the degree of freedom in one's work, but also, of course, how high one's salary will be. Access to the best possible education and training is therefore one of the main concerns of people in the USA, at 81 per cent. But TV networks like CBS or FOX prefer to use their airtime to report on acts of violence or school shootings – instead of using regular, high-quality information to explore the reasons why, in the land of opportunity, access to good kindergartens, schools and universities remains reserved for those who were able to attend these institutions themselves and who have the financial means to buy the key to success.

Both networks have informed their audiences about education over the last twelve years with exactly the same proportion of 1.6 per cent of all 153,798 reports (CBS) and 243,535 reports (FOX) that were broadcast during these 625 weeks. But even here, the topic is more likely to be presented through partisan political glasses on FOX: In the Obama years, the conditions at kindergartens, schools, universities and other educational institutions were presented with a balance of minus 30 per cent; now, in the Biden administration, they are similarly poor at minus 29 per cent. By contrast, the four years during which Trump was responsible for the fact that Americans view the state of education with concern at a rate of over 80 per cent appear to have been golden years, with a negative rate of not even 10 per cent. The CBS editorial team has not been able to identify any problems in the last twelve years. That doesn't help people much either.
