The Day After the Election: ABC White House and Senior National Correspondent, Jim Avila

The smoke has barely cleared.  It’s less than a day after the polls closed and Emmy and Murrow award winning ABC White House and Senior National correspondent, Jim Avila reflects on what happened.

Why were the media pollsters so wrong?

Jim shares an insider’s look and even talks about a memo that was circulated at ABC by the pollsters explaining what went on.

Avila talks about false equivalency and the notion of “fair” reporting in the run up to election day.

Was the media unwittingly complicit in running down one candidate in favor of the other?

Plus, a listener who had written to the show in the comments section of our website joins by phone to share a few minutes on why he and his wife voted for Donald Trump.
