News Media Yet Again Misreads America’s Complex Pulse

Il me semble que la seule chose que ça illustre, c’est le très banal plantage des sondages et des grands médias, qui donnent vainqueur le camp du beau et du bon gagnant depuis des semaines, et le maintiennent au début de la nuit, et qui se retrouve progressivement confrontés aux résultats pour-de-vrai qui arrivent au fur et à mesure.

L’inversion des courbes, il me semble que c’est le passage des « probabilités » basées sur les sondages et l’aveuglement des grands médias, aux résultats pratiques du vote.

« Le mur de la réalité »…

sondages ou plutôt moyen de basse propagande

Un édito du NY Times qui évoque d’ailleurs ce moment : News Media Yet Again Misreads America’s Complex Pulse

That more or less comported with The New York Times’s Upshot projection early Tuesday evening that Mrs. Clinton was an 84 percent favorite to win the presidency.

Then came a profound shift, as mainstream media organizations scrambled to catch the bus that had just run them over. By 10:30 p.m., the Upshot projection had switched around, remarkably, to 93 percent in favor of Mr. Trump.

[…]

John King of CNN proclaimed to his huge election night audience that during the previous couple of weeks, “We were not having a reality-based conversation” given the map he had before him, showing Mr. Trump with a clear opportunity to reach the White House.

That was an extraordinary admission; if the news media failed to present a reality-based political scenario, then it failed in performing its most fundamental function.
