      TYT + Cenk are just totally and embarrassingly wrong about this. Their original segment falsely claimed that a CNN poll showing Biden up was "biased" because it oversampled "septuagenarians." Trying to "unskew polls" invariably makes you look really stupidhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bppXajlK20 …

      This isn't even so much a political issue; it's an empirical and methodological issue. There are plenty of legitimate criticisms of Biden, to dwell on allegedly "biased" and "skewed" polls because you don't like that he's ahead is self-defeating and ridiculous. Just stop.

      Many other polls with varied methodologies have replicated the finding of the CNN poll that TYT claimed was somehow maliciously twisted to disfavor Bernie. It's ridiculous, and self-defeating because YOU are actually the one giving viewers a "skewed" picture of the race.

      This doesn't mean that @NateSilver538 is above criticism. Some of his predictions and pundit-style analysis has been really dumb, and I've criticized it. But on these pure methodological questions, he's generally correct. And I say this as someone who has been trolled by Nate!

      CNN, the same entity they're now claiming is putting out polls to undermine Bernie, accurately predicted Bernie's margin of victory in the 2016 New Hampshire Democratic Primary. Final result: Sanders 60% Clinton 38%pic.twitter.com/bYXuPIAIUK

          And how close was that "poll" to the actual event? Also, CNN never thought or wanted to believe that Bernie had a chance in the primary.

          They didn't start skewing the polls until later in the game. Post the actual poll.

          I am confused as to why this poll doesn’t skew the narrative. Please explain like I’m 5.pic.twitter.com/2FGdE2K7ke

          Are you seriously using one random poll in NH to determine CNN's credibility???? It's been pretty obvious but now I'm truly starting to see the extent you're willing to take this grift
