Journalism, by definition, is simply presenting facts. But, for many current “journalists,” the job involves more than merely transferring information.
This video from MSNBC shows just how inaccurate these so-called “news” networks can be. Steve Kornacki uses the network’s absurdly inaccurate polls to creates his own delusional narrative for the presidential election, getting EVERY prediction wrong!
One thing is for sure. Nobody will ever consider this guy to be a prophet. In Biblical times, he’d be lying in a pit being pelted with rocks.
Actually, these poor predictions were more of a team effort, than that of just one man. After all, these were NBC polls that Kornacki cited time and time again. Polls that showed Hillary Clinton leading Donald Trump in places like North Carolina, Georgia, and Ohio.
The polls were terribly off-base. In some cases, the NBC numbers showed Clinton with a double-digit lead in states that she went on to lose. In other words, the polls were not by any means scientific, fair, or truthful.

Anyone who’s carefully studied how the MSM tried to help the Clinton campaign knows that the tactics are right out of what Josef Goebbels did when he was Propaganda Minister for the Nazi Party.
What can a Democratic Talking Head say to counter the Trump glowing winner circle? Hate and emotion has clouded any fiber of common sense. Resentment and anger will continue to disrupt rational thought. The radical left lost and now they cannot have a logical debate.
363 EVs for Hillary, not even in their wildest fantasies.
Hillary up by one in red state, goes blue. Trump up by 5 in red state goes gray. Hillary up by 5 in blue state, blowout.

Greatest election ever
Now all we need is Trumop on Day one to call for a national boycott of the fake media of CNN, MSNBC, ABC News, CBS and NBC news as well as the fake Ny Times and Washington Post. If he askes this of the American people, ghe will create a forestorm and these media outlets will become and even bigger joke than they already are. Maybe we will all let them die then from no ratings and no clicks.
That more than almost anything, will help Trump save America.
That's great.
I hate the MSM as much as anybody, but Rachel Madcow is not a journalist and does not do news. She is a commentator like Hannity or Limbaugh. Commentators don’t have to stick to facts. They have license to be as biased as they want. It is the news and journalists that are supposed to be fair to each side and reveal corruption and misdeeds among both parties.
Any stupid article like this that uses a commentator show to discuss journalism, is sadly ignorant about what journalism is.
Today Chuck Todd tried to make a distinction between opinion and DATA. He had a segment on data that he said was devoid of opinion.
Chuck Todd presented predictions of Nate Silver as data, not opinion.
This is an example of how different the two parallel worlds are.

“Chuck Todd presented predictions of Nate Silver as data, not opinion.”
Predictions are never data.
