Only 65 pre-election stories for Trump and "Conflict of Interest" from WaPo, NYT & Politico. (Some are debate transcripts or about Clinton).pic.twitter.com/pOXc2Zmajb

True. Also "data journalism" that acted like clickbait—constant updates, faux precision, key details in footnotes.https://twitter.com/natesilver538/status/802272157954781185 …

That's right. It also helped media approach Trump as a negligible chance; which one should never do with nominees.https://twitter.com/EricJafMN/status/802893843343507460 …

538 was best—at least footnotes communicated uncertainty. However, the faux precise huge topline did not convey it; functioned as clickbait.

Yep. Data journalism did lousy job of communicating its natural, inevitable error pattern. "Factiness" lulled folks.https://twitter.com/LeeCEldridge/status/802896783663857668 …

Footnotes correctly said "errors are correlated" or "model is based only on 11 cases". Meanwhile, topline lulled. https://twitter.com/randomsubu/status/802898032958312448 …

Pundits are worse at forecasting and understanding most of what's going on than most forecasters. @derekwillis
