what else might they be wrong about?
Do you ever question your news sources? Might they have a vested interest in NOT telling you the facts?
Face facts, and realize that the Right Wing Media have been lying to you, and to themselves. If they hadn't been, they would not have been so very, very wrong about Romney's chances, when there was a mountain of evidence pointing, correctly, to Romney's eventual defeat.
Any news outlet that was grounded in reality knew what was a very real possibility. The polling proved correct, Nate Silver was right, and math doesn't lie.
So, if you're not questioning your 'fact sources' now, perhaps you should be, no?

Nate Silver was laughed at for absolutely correctly predicting a 91 per cent chance of Obama winning the electoral college, based on the polls, and a 2 1/2 to 3 point popular vote margin in favor of Obama. That is exactly what happened. And no, that is not a close election really.
It's a far bigger win than GW Bush ever had.

We should be laughing our asses off at them. Social media beat the corporate 'news' and all that Koch money. HAH!
