Nate Silver catching (well-deserved) strays.
I took a graduate level stats class, and I'll never forget the prof saying:
It's easy to get the numbers you want, anyone can do that. The hard part is finding the actual numbers, and being able to explain them.
Nate got a lot of credit early for highlighting common sense things no one was paying attention to, but as soon as he got big he started writing opinion articles with his numbers, and then started finding numbers that backed up his opinions.
And I could have sworn he got in trouble for gambling on political prediction sites, and maybe even trying to use his site to swing votes to back his bets...
But now when I try to search it online, all that comes up is results for a book he wrote on his gambling addiction and it's not on his Wikipedia.
I mean I kinda agree overall but this is a weird critique because he was 100% correct about Biden's cognitive decline. So that specific criticism is pretty weird.
Has he been speaking out about Trump’s extremely obvious mental problems, which are exacerbated by him always having been a moron? That’s the issue people have. Yes, Biden was old and getting senile. But it’s not reasonable the amount of attention paid to that vs. the relative free pass the demented orange cretin receives from the same journalists.
I haven't been paying attention, but is Nate a maga douche?
He said in nearly so many words that democrats aren’t allowed to ever say anything again because Biden pardoned his son.
He’s been weirdly quiet about republican corruption.
