The deciding elements more likely were money, a broader variety of platforms and the opportunity to concentrate on sports and entertainment, as well as politics. Are some at The Times gratified by his departure?
No doubt. But others are sorry to see him go. Count me among those. If he had — if that were what the accusation involved — the show would not have gone on.
We would have folded up shop and we would have not completed the show. Because then it would have been the same as Harvey Weinstein, or Les Moonves, or any of these cases that are fundamental to this new paradigm.
Did you not notice that? Why did you not notice that? Not the other way around. And for the election that Nate Silver covered, he paid a lot of attention to the electoral college, not the latest polls on undecided likely voters. So while the election may have looked fairly close from the polls of undecided swing voters, the electoral college was pretty well wrapped up in favor of Obama.
I will miss Nate Silver. He was able to apply his statistical analysis to almost every topic imaginable, from baseball to poker, chess, daily weather forecasts, the stock market, and everything up to national elections.
This is a major loss for the New York Times and its readers. Many are bad at math and never learned any science.
Nate Silver was too scientific in his analysis. Thank god he was correct. This is really a bad decision on the part of the powers that be at the NYT. I and my wife will continue to read the NYT we live in a suburb of Chicago — that should be enough to tell you why we need an actual newspaper instead of the Chicago Tribune or Sun Times.
However, we will certainly not expand to a 7 days sub as the NYT keeps asking us. Love to hear what he thinks about the peeter tweeter repeater in New York. If he picks him to win all you Dems should jump out the window. Dont worry we wont be far behind. As far as Obama…. I think Silver knew that that would not change no matter what. Woman under the age of 30 hurt Mitt. They bought that he hates woman …as silly as that sounds. The percentage of fools who believed this president really never changed either.
Nate Silver, the gay wunderkind of political data and a web-traffic magnet, will be leaving The New York Times for a new spot at ESPN , and a lot of them will be happy to see him go.
Silver does data analysis, which in other hands would be deadly but in his becomes lively and sophisticated. Silver is also openly gay , which led one right-wing blogger to claim last fall that Silver was too effeminate to understand data. Political reporters prefer to think of themselves as soothsayers interpreting the entrails of political campaigns instead of relying upon a scientific approach. Imagine how galling it is to discover that the science was actually right.
