Your blog is spot on. The media and the pollsters have, at the very least, seriously slaughtered their brands. While I understand why the media can't help themselves in ramping and amping things up during the election cycle [ad dollars, clicks, etc.], I can't understand why pollsters can't get this figured out, particularly in this election era where voters were clearly in one camp or the other.
<Lincoln Project> Have a wealthy friend that was deeply into this. It's nice to see after the fact that 'online discourse does not equate to real life votes'. Same applies to twitter and other social media. Should be a lesson to everyone, including regulators. Good riddance.
