for example the election
On Election Day, the New York Times said, “Hillary Clinton has an 85 percent chance to win.”
The Huffington Post blog was even more optimistic, saying its presidential forecast model gave
“Clinton a 98.2 percent chance of winning.”
Newsweek took it a step further, sending out 125,000 copies of a commemorative magazine
with Clinton’s smiling picture on the cover and the headline “Madam President.”
After Trump’s victory was clear, the magazines were recalled, but you can buy copies
on eBay for anywhere from $75 to $2,500 each.

“None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies;
they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. … And judgment is turned away backward,
and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
Yea, truth faileth …” (Isaiah 59:4, 14-15).
The Bible makes clear that God’s love “rejoices in the truth,”
and that the “truth will set you free” (1 Corinthians 13:6; John 8:32).

Through Isaiah, God said: “[T]he earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord,
as the waters cover the sea” (Isaiah 11:9).
