'BradCast' 11/11/2022 (Guest: Data expert Tom Bonier on getting the 2022 election results right)
b"On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 It's not a surprise that Fox 'News' deluded itself and its viewers into believing that the 2022 Election would be a 'red wave' for Republicans. But it is surprising and disappointing that the corporate media got the story so badly wrong, as well, failing or choosing not to see the ground-level election data clearly. TOM BONIER of the Democratic data research firm TargetSmart got it right.

Bonier explains how a flood of sketchy Republican polling in the last month of the campaign clearly warped polling averages, influencing the corporate media's narrative in ways that benefitted Republicans, the potential affect that had on voter turnout in key races, and his frank assessment of the structural forces that pushed the corporate media into getting it all so very wrong.
