Why O won and R lost?

But to be fair, it wasn't just the right who was wrong. Seems most of the mainstream media were bad predictors, with most of them calling it a razor thin tossup. It was close, but it was never a tossup.

I've said before media doesn't want accuracy, they are a business, they want to make money. And a close race, regardless of whether it's actually close or not works best for them.
