On election night, those experts provided detailed discussions of the flaws in exit polling. Strangely enough, both bloggers [Jay Cost at The Horserace Blog (jaycost.blogger.com) and the Mystery Pollster (mysterypollster.typepad.com] trusted me with the ability to understand their critiques, and to interpret the exit polling data accordingly. Gosh -- clarifying complicated ideas and then expecting your audience to handle sensitive news in light of those ideas. What will those crazy pajama-clad bloggers think of next?
These Old Media types are so unbelievably full of themselves. As if they alone are the arbiters of truth, solely qualified to transmit information, the solitary bastion of legitimate wordsmiths. They deserve to be deposed from the thrones they've built for themselves... and I think it's fitting and so very American that it's coming from rank-and-file folks with brains and gumption. It's the modern-day equivalent of the pamphleteers during the Revolutionary War. And it's a beautiful sight to behold.
