Why does Nate Silver complain about NYT lack of coverage of Buttigieg compared to Bloomberg

and NOT mention Warren had the poll number as Buttigieg and the same lack of coverage?

Why is the media treating the women candidates differently?

Nate and Clare note Buttigieg has zero stories compared to Bloomberg, but…

Nate Silver

@NateSilver538
Our Nevada polling average after adding a couple of polls today that showed very... different results from one another.

Sanders 25.6
Biden 15.3
Buttigieg 11.4
Warren 11.4

Steyer 10.5
Klobuchar 8.3h




Warren is tied with Buttigieg in that poll and yet there’s no mention that Warren has zero coverage, too. Klobuchar is not that far behind that she doesn’t at least deserve a mention.

The media will argue they don’t choose the candidates, but they do — they do by the amount of coverage they provide the public before each poll, before each caucus and primary.

They continue to report this election using stale horse race methodology.

And the political ecosystem like Five Thirty-Eight’s team just follows along for the ride. “Who, us?” they’ll say after the fact.

ALL OF YOU.

In the beginning, it seemed she got some decent coverage, but then she became invisible, even on the debate stage.
