It's a pretty clear swipe at the current constitution of the American elite, and how they generate support from their targeted audiences.
Smart people say stuff, and make it clear that it is science or statistical, not dirty rhetoric. More clearly, it seems to support a pretty partisan position. People like it. Stuff like 538 is just rhetoric, not science, but people like to treat it as such because they don't know any better to treat it as a single source.
I don't know any better, but I like to look at things in the aggregate as often as possible.
