Lee Taek-soo, Realmeter CEO, Directly Refutes Public Opinion Poll Distrust Remarks… Democratic Party TV Project Emerges

Following the announcement of the Democratic Party's convention primary results, some supporters claimed that public opinion polls could not be trusted. The host explained that multiple polling agencies conducted surveys using 4,000 samples and criticized such accusations as undermining the credibility of the polls. The host mentioned that those who supported candidate Kim Min-seok were saying they couldn't trust the polls.

The host asserted that during the national public opinion survey period, Lee Jong-won overtly induced respondents to lie about their age in a live broadcast. The host added that there were over 200 reported instances of Lee Jong-won directly responding to polls in real-time, raising suspicions of organized inducement of false responses during the polling process.

Newstamsa criticized Realmeter CEO Lee Taek-soo for showing a passive and defensive attitude regarding the allegations of poll manipulation. The host mentioned that Lee Taek-soo had previously refused interviews during reporting and raised the possibility that he might have spoken without knowing the facts or that he knew and still defended them. The host strongly criticized, saying, "Lee Taek-soo seems genuinely bad."

The host emphasized that responding to a public opinion poll by falsely stating one's place of residence and age is a very wrongful act and can be legally punishable. This practice was pointed out as a serious problem that harms the fairness and undermines the reliability of public opinion polls.

The host expressed a critical view of writer Yoo Si-min's light mention of public opinion poll reliability issues concerning the convention results. The host mentioned the possibility that Yoo Si-min might not have encountered the Newstamsa report, suggesting that if he had, he would have made more cautious remarks. This appears to point out the problem of statements made without accurate factual verification.

The host pointed out that even though Supreme Council Member Kim Min-seok raised issues of dual party membership, fake party members, and organized involuntary party enrollment at the party convention, Representative Choi Min-hee, known as the pro-Lee Jae-myung faction leader, showed no reaction. The host questioned why Representative Choi Min-hee did not comment, despite expecting her to speak on these issues.

Representative Choi Min-hee diagnosed the reason for the Democratic Party's declining approval ratings, despite the diligent work of the President and party leader, as one-sided media criticism and divisive reporting after the party convention. She emphasized the necessity of media reform for the general election, highlighting the importance of a strategic approach to improving the media environment.

The host revealed that an analysis of chats on the Sisatapa YouTube channel showed that 87% of the 3,000 chats mentioning President Lee Jae-myung were critical of him. This indicates that negative public opinion towards President Lee Jae-myung is concentrated on certain online platforms, suggesting the possibility of public opinion distortion.

The host evaluated that the 'Democratic Party TV' project, which CEO Kim Min-seok instructed to prepare, could be a small means for media reform. This appears to be an attempt to strengthen direct communication with voters through a 'producer-to-consumer direct transaction' method, where members of parliament directly convey the party's message without going through intermediaries like Kim Eo-jun or Choi Wook.

The host suggested that to prevent Democratic Party TV from becoming biased, it should invite 'Taliban' (hardcore supporters) panelists along with 'Red Team' experts who point out realistic problems. While 'Taliban' refers to those who support the Democratic Party regardless of its faults, the 'Red Team' provides advice for the party's improvement, emphasizing that such a balanced discussion structure is essential for constructive public discourse.
