The Washington Post's Jennifer Rubin just said (on Threads) that last night's results show that 90% of political reporting is garbage.

That's because 90% of "coverage" is speculation and opinion. An email from the NYT "The Tilt" assured me that it was a good night for Democrats but that doesn't mean anything for 2024.

Rubbish.

Elections tell us how voters feel. Polls do not and pundits do not.

@Teri_Kanefield CNN is dying to use a variation of this headline today:
"Democrats win big in November. We explain how this is terrible news for them for 2024"

@lackattack @Teri_Kanefield From what I saw last night, that was definitely the message. One panelist pointed out that they were skeptical the KY win said anything about ‘24 but that if Beshear had lost, they’d be going on and on about how bad it was for Dems. 🤷‍♀️
