Everyone from pollsters to pundits¹ got the result of the US presidential election wrong.

 

所有的民调机构和权威专家对美国总统选举的结果预测都是错误的。
 

 

But few can have made it in such an expensive manner.

 

Newsweek and a partner that prints up special commemorative issues has been forced into an embarrassing recall, after it sent out 125,000 copies of its Madam President issue designed to celebrate Hillary Clinton's win.

 

Although Topix Media had also prepared a Donald Trump² version it thought it was safe to dispatch only the version detailing "Hillary Clinton's historic journey to the White House", as the cover put it.

 

"Like everybody else, we got it wrong," Tony Romando, chief executive of Topix Media, told The New York Post.

 

The edition appeared on shelves on Tuesday but was hastily withdrawn³.

 

"All wholesalers and retailers⁴ have been asked to return any issues they have as we need to clear room for (150,000 copies of) the President Trump issue," said Mr Romando. "We expect it to sell very well as there is obviously a great demand."

 

He said only 17 copies were sold.
