The media were not running on data.
The data gave her 70%. We're in the 30% of universes where Trump won.
In this scenario, you might argue, these are just talking heads. But they are not being asked for a view in order to look popular on TV, they're looking at data and interpreting it in a way that they are happy to be professionally accountable for.
Wisdom of crowds in the context of talking heads shooting the odds on a media out is not going to be as accurate as wisdom of crowds for economists being asked about economic issues.
So, you know, be careful where you're drawing lines here.
