> Wait, are you seriously suggesting that all of the polls that were done (http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/n... http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/n...) were manufactured by leftist media? I didn't say that. I said even if poll results showed more red on the map, they would have probably chosen not to show it. > And besides, having a poor model is not at all fake news. Fake news is completely making things up. I didn't say poll were fake news. That's was issue discussed in my comment, throwing labels like "Fake News" at stuff you don't agree, isn't it. > but isn't that the whole idea behind data journalism that you build a model and feed data to it? Not so simple. How they sample matters, what demographics they include matters, how they adjust results matter. They obviously got it wrong. No it is not Fake News. But it would be interesting to see why they got it wrong and all had a consistent bias in one direction mainly. Their reputation is at stake so hopefully they do a more in-depth analysis.
