although this time I think we are aware of and on guard for what can happen. But the media needs clicks so they will help magnify all the bullshit for ratings, even if they look stupid doing so. They learned nothing from 2020 or 2022 or perhaps better, the learned they can get away with being part of the problem and not the solution.
I know with the 2022 polling, you had the now-fired Nate Silver defending one set of polls that he included in his aggregates that were done by an outfit run by 2 high school students, arguing that they were somehow "legit", and on the same level with the more traditional outfits. 
In the past, when it came to something like this WSJ poll with the funders being who they were - those were pretty much dubbed partisan "internal polls". Now they are promoting them (and by "them", that means GOP-sponsored polls) as "legit". But don't let someone like politicsusa do one and the freak out commences, as they get called out as "partisan".
