exactly...you can't...all media has to be presumed to be erroneous. there's no way around this problem. there's no deferral of responsibility to some hero to vet data so that it's truthful - the fact is this hero design never works. it never fucking works. it can never work. that's the whole issue.

if one wants to understand the veracity of something one has to think about it. exchange ideas. compare notes. build hypotheses and test them. people want the easy button, but that also means they accept the consequences of that easy button - one of which is that they can be fatally misled.

Because the mainstream media tells you to and anything they don't want you to hear is "FAKE NEWS"

But don't you know, Trump only had a 0.0001% chance of winning! It's not media who lies, it's Republicans who lie on or don't answer prepolling! /s

Nate Silver was arguing that the math showed Trump had a reasonable chance at winning the electoral college. But I guess facts don't fit your narrative.

You shouldnt. Media is not entertainment or news casts, it is propaganda.
