So, for this entire year I’ve stopped listening to the #MSM via live audio streams like I usually do, and switched exclusively to listening to podcasts.

The upside to this is I’ve heard more right wing political commentary with #TimcastIRL and #TheBriefing w/ #AlMohler, and more in-depth news analysis with #UnbiasedPolitics w/ #JordanBerman and now #DecisionDeskHQ’s new show. I also get very quick rundowns of the biggest stories that the #MSM has been covering with #NBCNightlyNews.

However, the big thing I miss is live, rolling coverage of breaking news events that I’d like to hear, but most people forget about within 12 hours, it not 24 hours of them happening. For example, #NBCNewsNow and #NewsNation coverage of war and mass shootings, and #CSPANRadio’s rebroadcasts of #Congress’ hearings and #Trump’s speeches.

I also do miss listening to #PMSLive on #ESPN’s audio feed during the day, but frankly if I really had time to sit and listen to #PatMcAfee’s show I’d just download those podcast episodes too.

Pun aside, I just wanted to note that it is interesting that Trump's chances went from 56% to 58% with #DDHQ's model over the same period Trump's chances went from 51% to 49% with #538.

Just goes to show that models are imperfect measures and what goes into them is important to what comes out of them!
