Beyond making bad predictions and tonally describing the election poorly (it didn't seem to be coming down to the wire based on the coverage), the NYT did an atrociously poor job of explaining the mind of a Trump voter to its readership. To this day, there is a lot of reliance on imagery of be-mulleted bogeyman that is both facile and harmful if America wants to live in harmony with itself again some day.
That is, we're not just talking about getting the numbers wrong. The "narrative" itself is way out of whack as well.
