Article from a few weeks ago, but now that G. Elliott Morris is taking over without Nate’s models, I’m curious what lemmy’s think about political polling analysis from FiveThirtyEight?

    The old 538 pod was great but after they were bought up and the other regulars were fired it went downhill. Nate is much better in that medium than on Twitter or Meet the Press or whatever.

      yeah, outside of the stuff i brought up they’ve also just churned a lot of their best and most visible reporters to other places and opportunities. it’s unfortunate but that’s a natural part of journalism, especially with the whole field being pretty sparse with opportunity to climb the ladder.
