48 Hours Later, Media Still Keeps Dems' Total Collapse in Reuters Poll a Secret

The #BlueWave narrative -- the media's all-but-concluded assumption that Democrats would retake the House of Representatives from the GOP in November -- has largely been based on the state of the generic ballot poll.

They did not. Yesterday, I published an article titled: "24 Hours Later, Not One Mainstream Outlet Has Covered Dems' Total Collapse in Reuters Poll".

You might assume the media couldn't possibly ignore Tuesday's and Wednesday's game-changing news: the poll was no outlier.
