Summary

In this installment of Best Of The Gist, we look at the squishiest of science: cancelation and polling. Up first, we feature an installment of Cancel Court from Thursday's episode of Not Even Mad, our sister podcast. Listen in as Mike, Virginia Heffernan, and Jamie Kirchick attempt to rule on the cancelation of Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving for the anti-Semitic remarks he made in a recent documentary? Next, we'll listen back to Mike's 2020 interview with Robert Cahaly, head pollster of the Atlanta-based Trafalgar Group. Cahaly explains their polling methodology in gathering accurate opinion data, why social desirability bias comes into play, and how his team was able to predict Trump's win in 2016.

0:31.0	2020 with Pulsar Robert Kehaley of the Trafalgar group. Trafalgar and Kehaley are getting dunked on
0:38.4	because he got the midterms the most. Reason with midterms are really wrong. After Not Even Matt,

0:58.8	Enemy, Surviving a Social Media World of Hacker's Terrorist, Russians, and Fake News. And what Jordan
1:03.6	got out of Clinton, Clint's been on this show, but this was something I hadn't really considered,
1:07.7	is the insidious nature of modern disinformation. And Clint's point was that it depends on you
1:15.1	feeling that you are the one choosing it. It can't be disinformation. It's not being fed to me by
1:21.2	someone that I don't trust or that I even didn't click on, right? The idea is I'm fine. I'm liberated.
1:27.8	It's an act of freedom to seek out this information. I'm choosing it. It can't be disinformation.
1:33.9	Just another fascinating insight that one might get from listening to the Jordan Harbinger Show.
1:39.2	Search for the Jordan Harbinger Show that's H-A-R like the first three letters in
