Steve, loved the book, and this substack. How come we hardly ever hear from media how off (or flat out wrong) polls have been once a particular election is done? Most were off in 2020, 2022, and this past Tuesday 2024. But we never seem to hear the media learn from that. They just go onto the next election and start presenting those polls as if they are accurately predicting what voter sentiment is and what's going to happen (based on past results?).
Separate, but related issue: how come most media lets pundits, politicians etc flat out lie during interviews with hardly any push back or fact checking? Sorry to say my most recent example of this was you talking to Asa Hutchenson this morning, and he went off on "failed" Biden policies like we used to be energy independant under previous administration but no more. Factually untrue, US producing more oil and NG now then ever before. I think letting one side consistently lie with hardly any fact check/pushback is aiding in this negative sentiment among some of the electorate.
