The moral priorities of the average American
(sh.itjust.works)
Most noteworthy for me is the fact that more Americans think that porn (52%) and homosexuality (39%) are wrong than spanking children (23%) and being ultra wealthy (18%).

Wow. Does this really wanna tell me that roughly every 2nd US-american I would in the US of A is a cult-loving, children-spanking, homophobic, misogynistic silly shitstick of an excuse for a decent human being? Explains the "president".
Did I mention: wow?
Can only hope this is some totally stupid agenda-pushing crap, and only 20 people were interviewed. In front of some church or so.
I can guarantee you the people who voted these things as being "morally wrong" only believe it's wrong if someone else is doing it
I think hypocrisy is somehow implied with the top3 "immoralities" here.
Especially homophobia. I always had the suspicion, that the graph, that shows "volume and intensity of voicing of anti-gay-sentiment" on the x-axis, and "actually being closeted gay themselves" on the y-axis, is a very straight line in a 45° arc of both.
I have never met anyone who is a member of the “American Trends Panel”. (Or a Nielsen family for that matter). But somehow, these mysterious people with 2.5 kids and a dog represent “US Americans”.*
*As a pageant contestant once described us.
My family was a Nielsen family for a while back in the 1990s. Our parents basically only let us watch Sesame Street and a few other PBS shows. One of my friends was sort of alarmed, almost offended by this situation, like of all the people Nielsen should be seeking data from, how could it be us?
I personally know at least one family who is a Nielsen household. You’re asked to keep your participation confidential which is probably why you don’t know anyone doing it.
I did 3 years of Nielsen surveys before I moved last. I didn't recall secrecy being pushed that hard.

No. Once you begin participating, we ask that you do not share that you’re part of Nielsen research. We ask that you do not discuss your role with people outside of your household, including on social media websites, such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. This helps keep our research as independent as possible.
Are they married with kids? I’ve always wondered if Nielsen ever tracks what single people watch, or college kids, or unmarried gay people. Doesn’t seem like it.
It’s a retired couple with adult children who don’t live with them.
Well that explains all the NCIS spinoffs. 😉
