There is a difference between being deliberately being dishonest and handling data sub-optimally due to incompetence. Sometimes the lines between these two are not clear. Silver spends a fair bit of time analyzing the problems with polling.
I just see it as an opportunity to shame the traditional polling companies to stop gaslighting their polls. Maybe it will take a cage match with Silver to do it.
It makes me wonder if juicing the polls is part of the MSM’s “Trump is too dangerous for journalistic ethics” plan to do anything to win.
