Dear Fellow Members of the Media:
We need to talk about the way you’re covering the Democratic race for president. Consider this an intervention.
You all went crazy on Monday when a single poll showed a national tie between Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.
It was like a ticker-tape parade through the Canyon of Heroes; articles suggesting a historic shakeup in the Democratic race rained down upon America like ticker tape. Huzzah! We have a whole new race!
No matter that it was literally the only poll in which Biden has not led by at least 2 points out of 68 national surveys dating back to April 8 (and in most of those, Biden led by double digits). Not even 48 hours later, two others came out showing Biden ahead by 12 or 14.
The head of the polling firm that reported the three-way tie on Monday then took to Twitter on Wednesday and declared his own survey was an outlier!
