zoux posted:Because then they'd be accused of bias. It's the same reason they're afraid to use the word "lie". Every goddamn reporter in this country is afraid to use that word because then they get the inevitable follow-up "Are you calling so-and-so a liar", and literally every non-fictional news anchor and mainstream journalist is afraid to go "Yes!"

exquisite tea posted:Obama polled on average 2.5% ahead of Romney up through election night, where he ended up winning by about 4% nationally. On the day of the election, 538 gave Obama about a 90% chance of winning according to their model. Good chances, but if I said that if you had a 10% chance of being struck by lightning when you walked outside today, you'd probably stay indoors. Does Silver's polls plus model account for being unable to get a thread full of goons to Arzy about losing in the face of all contrary evidence? That seems like a pretty reliable indicator.

So far, Hillary has run a quietly competent campaign. I mean, her worst screwup in the last month (I'm not counting the email thing because that wasn't an unforced error) was probably the dumb Pokemon Go joke.

exquisite tea posted:If you say so. You're telling me what very well might happen due to voter demographics, but I'm just looking at the national polling trends in comparison to a state's Democratic or Republican lean, and I'm saying that in a scenario where it's 50/50 on election night, like it is right now, it's well within Trump's power to grab all of Pennsylvania, Florida and Ohio for 273 EVs. Clinton could win every other swing state in contention right now, and it wouldn't matter. In fact if I were running Trump's campaign I would bet everything on that exact electoral map. Maybe this will change once the conventions are over, the polling picks up and all firms switch over to an LV model. But all metrics indicate that this is a tight race, at least as tight as it was in 2012, and I had more confidence in Obama's operation then to turn out votes. Trump doesn't ever have to get above 45% of the national vote, he just has to get more people than Hillary Clinton, who has favorability troubles of her own. Florida's population is 55% White, and 17% Black - if Trump wins with that demographic makeup, he will have won by a lot more than 273 EVs.

If Clinton keeps her professional, pos Samurai Sanders posted:How could it not have been intentional? I mean, maybe whoever wrote it just Googled "first lady speech" but even if they didn't know it was Michelle's they would still know it was ripped off, because they ripped it off. That's a reasonable inference but news agencies don't like making those inferences when less negative language reports the news. Unless it's Hillary and then all inferences are allowed.

If the academic definition is anything to go by, no, intent is irrelevant. I expect any spokespeople from the DNC to go full Matt Santos on this issue--anyone that gets asked for it will immediately pivot the answer to a different issue. It's too hard for an opposing party to frame it without seeming like they're attacking Melania Trump, who is fast coming off as the more sympathetic figure here.

zoux posted:Is there no Student Honor Council who can tell us if this is plagiarism or not? Having been in all stages of academia there's a difference between a student who was lazy a didn't want to do the work and copy and pasted a term paper vs a couple of sentences in a 200 page thesis that are ultimately inconsequential. In the latter case technically it is plagiarism but there's only a limited number of ways you can say something so most likely the PhD won't be revoked.
