Honest reporters and editors have asked a hard question since Election Day: How could we have been so staggeringly wrong about so much in 2016?
On December 8, Dean Baquet, executive editor of the New York Times, offered one possible answer in the form of a confession: “We don’t get religion. We don’t get the role of religion in people’s lives,” he said on the NPR show Fresh Air. “I think that the New York-based and Washington-based…media powerhouses don’t quite get religion.”
Then he added: “I think we can do much, much better.”
