Do publications like fact-check articles and editorials on electoral politics for basic logic and accuracy before publishing or nah. I mean feel free to DM me if you need that done.
Like if you're talking about down-ballot Democrats under-performing Biden, maybe don't have your main examples be Starr County and Zapata County, where they over-performed Biden, @jacobinmag. That kind of thing.
Or publishing, in the New York Times, that "the number of registered voters in Georgia has decreased since 2012", in August 2018. 
I definitely think it's gotten better, over my long time following this stuff, but I still see this sort of thing more than I should...or am I cherry-picking...
Everyone makes mistakes, lord knows I do, but especially at like big papers and organizations, there should be people checking stuff, right?
A lot of these media outlets, they have in-house quantitative people now, who I think often do a very good job, but then in the opinion sections, it's anything goes.
(And the "straight news but not done by the in-house quantitative people", I guess that's probably somewhere in between.)
