While a section of the media is struggling to retain the public’s trust by walking the extra mile in ensuring due journalistic process, another section is actually undermining the public’s trust by indulging in weird exit polls. I am unable to see any robust methodology in these exit polls. How can one make sense of Times Now’s two exit polls with two different agencies? NDTV’s idea of working out a mean figure based on diverse exit polls defeats all rules of statistics. If the media were to provide some relief from this assault on truth, then it should refrain from meaningless exit polls.
