My latest at PJMedia VIP. Why did the punditry fail to see the oncoming 2024 train?
Preference Falsification
Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election by a significant margin, and people should ask themselves: Why didn’t the experts see it coming? Why did pundits think it would be so close when it was not? The impulse that the NYT, the Wapo, and the TV news networks stood guard against was “hidden information.” Invisible. Negligible. What witchcraft did this? It was hidden by something that many analysts are familiar with: preference falsification, which occurs when people don’t disclose their true feelings because they are afraid of being excoriated.
