POLITICAL TWITTER DECREE:

Any reporter who is trying to push horse race coverage right now is lying to you and should be called out as such. It is our patriotic duty to keep the record straight with respect to this very stable race.
Since @nytimes is stacked to the brim with former @politico gossip mongers, reporters from those outlets are most likely to spin horserace coverage out of thin air.

Then, I would say the pollsters-turned-pundits, Wasserman, @NateSilver538, and @Nate_Cohn.
Some examples of horserace BS; feel free to add to this list.

-"Polls are tightening!" (Usually they cherry pick one poll)
-"Joe Biden needs to do _____ or else _____!" (He ignored all their advice up to this point, he doesn't need to do anything)
-"X is a problem for the Biden campaign!" (this can be anything. I saw @grace_panetta, who is usually very good, say something silly about the youth vote today.)
-"(Horrible thing) could be good for President Trump." (Rona is no. 1 priority).

Need more suggestions, @pleizar
-Sports analogies. Any time they treat it like a game or a match, they should be dragged. It is fatuous to frame it that way, especially because we're in a historic pandemic and recession amidst a civil rights movement.
