Yes,this election has been unique in almost every way, but focusing too much on this season's peculiarities obscures an important fact: the media are inaccurate all the time. Pundits like Bill Kristol have become more noted for being inaccurate than being true, or yet they continue to prognosticate (to predict) and still salvage paid to do it. Why? Are they just liars? Well,perhaps sometimes. But usually it's more complicated than that.
