There are a number of problems with this take, the first of which is that the voters, whom our press is entrusted with informing, are not at all comparable to the passive spectators of a sporting event. They (we) are active, vital participants in the process at hand.
It was your analogy. I just pointed out that in a basketball game, the media isn’t the refs. It’s the commentators.

And I just explained why that is inaccurate. I made an analogy, yes, and then you overextended it to a place where it doesn't hold.

If I “overextended” it by pointing out what refs actually do, then it was probably a bad analogy to begin with. But we can ageee to disagree
