>Remember when every media outlet on the planet said that Hillary Clinton would win the election in a landslide? The same outlets also said brexit would never happen. How did that turn out?

You aren't doing your case any favours, both of those examples are very clear forward looking statements. Both of them had reasonable basis in fact to believe both those things. This is not the same thing as lying.

The Hillary thing is a prime example of how scarily easy it is for large numbers of people to dismiss broad categories of information when a perfectly reasonable wrong (e.g. a wrong statistical forecast) happens to affirmatively coincide with negative feelings in their personal social politics or emotional preconceptions. You see the same thing with doctors especially.
