31. over gesticulates with his hands too much

Waving his hands over his maps are quite annoying, though 80% of talking heads over gesticulate, including some of my favorites such as nancy pelosi - 70%, rachel maddow - 70%, bernie sanders - 90%, biden - 40%. Kornacki has about 5 motions which he repeats over and over. I have formed 'STOGATH' - Stop over gesticulation amongst talking heads.
Kornacki uses the term 'dead heat' regarding polls. A poll can NEVER be considered a dead heat towards the electorate, it is oxymoronic. A dead heat is 'no discernible difference'. While a poll with a sample of 2002 splitting 1001 to 1001 is indeed a dead heat it cannot be applied to the electorate in general because of the margin of error which simply creates a swath wherein the results could lie, and it is ridiculous to arbitrarily choose the exact dead center. I have seen him refer to a percentage point poll result which is say, 44 - 42, as a dead heat. Again ridiculous as a true dead heat had 'no discernible difference' and a 2 pt lead is certainly discernible.
Kornacki I think is polish, a polack like me, and his name is properly pronounce in polish 'Kor nat skee'.

Nicole Wallace employs 'fake breaking news' so frequently I stopped watching her show. She puts up about anything and calls it breaking news; about 70% of her show not counting commercials and true breaking news, is fake breaking news. I remember once she had during early pandemic 'Gymnasts go maskless in Miami', then a video of about 50 in a gym, most without masks. No more breaking news than a parking lot fender bender.
