Huffington Post was one of Nate Silver's largest critics because his math disagreed with their political desires. This graphic [1] - laughably claiming to be scientific - was on their home page on Tuesday afternoon. 538 had Trump at about 28% at the exact moment I took this screenshot, and HuffPo's "scientists" had him at 1.7%. If anyone wonders whether HuffPo and its ilk are "biased but reliable," wonder no more. They're just biased.
