Still, the fact remains that Trump won the election in the Rust Belt. Hillary's team, most media outlets and most pollsters didn't see that coming (or they didn't tell us), so I see a lack of "reliability" pretty much across the board.

I'm familiar with the expression 'fake news' but you're implying BuzzFeed (a site I had never heard of until I clicked on and read the link Traveler Jim supplied) is disseminating fake analysis. If their news items and now this election analysis is unable to be trusted that's a shame; if so I fell for it but at least I enjoyed reading it, as I do most political articles especially when predictions made by the experts or pollsters or those who claim to know or should know turn out to be wrong.

This Analysis Shows How Fake Election News Stories Outperformed Real News On Facebook
A BuzzFeed News analysis found that top fake election news stories generated more total engagement on Facebook than top election stories from 19 major news outlets combined.

Is BuzzFeed liberal or conservative ???

"People who read BuzzFeed, Politico, The Washington Post and The New York Times all tend to be more liberal."
