Desperate times call for desperate measures. Isn’t that right, MSNBC?
I think @chucktodd just unskewed the CNN poll to match 2012 exits, which, if I'm interpreting right, is a bad idea

This is not a drill, folks:
One poll shows Trump is ahead by 2 points and MSNBC immediately jumps to unskewing. Good lord. https://t.co/qzouOUGrLN

What’s the problem? They just made some adjustments, is all.
The adjusted results using the 1824 electorate show them both trailing John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson.

MSNBC has unskewed/re-cucked the CNN poll! https://t.co/jA1ZeGVZr6

Excited that the election has shifted from uncucking the polls to cucking them pretty hard https://t.co/jA1ZeGVZr6

Ha!
But seriously. Did they honestly think they’d get away with this?
Wow, AYFKM?

Now explain to me why you think NBC isn't a Democratic house organ. https://t.co/MvIpqtpkpG

"Adjusted News" is in no way Orwellian. https://t.co/45FSMhx6wl

Oh well. If there’s a silver lining here — besides this being yet another opportunity to mock the hacks at MSNBC — it’s that this could be an omen for liberals in general:
This is so not a good sign for the liberal mindset–trust me https://t.co/8LU0qKvdll

Rule: If you're the one doing the unskewing, you're losing.
