"Ticket-splitting" might have come not just from Biden at top voters: I know of people who could not vote for Trump, but did not want Democratic trifecta and voted for & worked hard for R senators. Also Maine: some Collins voters may have thought she'd in a Dem Senate/Prez setup.

Certainly, it would be great if media coverage would be more focused on issues, platforms, etc. How do we get there though? Also, is it really the case that the more sophisticated models have changed the balance of coverage? Wasn't it always driven by the horse race?

8 months into daily COVID coverage, the vast majority of media outlets don't seem to understand that "infections" and "cases" are not synonyms and that the former are systematically > the latter. Ratio varies by time and place but almost certainly always >2 and sometimes >10.

My point, Prof. Tufekci, is that you're asking for a group of people to be better at their job than they are realistically ever going to be. I agree w/ you on the merits, but you are tilting at windmills. That's fine - I also sometimes do so! - but the situation won't be fixed.
