The Media's Election Coverage Correction

The dirty little secret of 2020 election coverage is that major media outlets across print and television are taking responsibility for their disastrous 2016 election reporting. They just aren't owning it publicly.

It is also one factor that we can place squarely at the feet of media hungry for stories that rate, with little concern for the long-term implications.
