The news is hideous and diseased — every new poll inspires a frenzy of speculation, and gets promoted heavily on the networks, depending on whether the results meet their biases or not. Unfortunately, that provides an incentive to the Poll Industry to do more polls and to found more polling companies, further undermining their credibility. The latest flurry of rabid prognostication was triggered by a poll that suggested Iowans might favor Harris.
I honestly don’t give a fuck. I have come to despise both polls and the media’s reliance on them to generate “news”.
I am pleased to see that Bob agrees with me.
P.S. Especially Nate Silver, you can just fuck off to the moon.
