Poll Says Most Americans Are Avoiding Political News; Russia Reacts to Reports Saying Its Air Defense Caused Azerbaijan Airlines Crash

A new poll shows that most Americans are exhausted by political news. The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research conducted the survey in early December. About two-thirds of American adults say they have recently felt the need to limit their media consumption regarding politics and government due to information overload. On Dec. 26, a Kremlin spokesperson commented on reports claiming that Russia's air defense had shot down an Azerbaijan Airlines flight on Christmas Day, causing a crash that killed 38 people on board. The spokesperson urged people to wait for the investigation to be completed before drawing any conclusions about the cause of the crash. Holiday travel across the United States faced major disruptions on Thursday due to severe weather. In Texas, nearly 90 flights were delayed, and over two dozen were canceled at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, with additional delays at Dallas Love Field and Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport. Most of the costs associated with presidential inaugurations come from privately raised funds. In addition to the swearing-in ceremony, events typically include a parade and a ball, among others. So far, for the upcoming Trump inauguration, the largest donors have been tech companies. ⭕️Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV👉 https://www.epochtv.com/ 💛 Support us to fight for the truth!👉 https://donorbox.org/epochtv
