"Fake news" = zero impact on election.

[Ishmael]

The studies are coming out.

Fake news equals false angst.

The news here as far as I'm concerned is not so much that the fake news had virtually zero impact on the election, but the US voter isn't nearly as stupid as the press and the democrats want to believe.

[Wrong Element]

Yes, in my experience as a writer, people write things and sites publish them with the goal of having no impact whatsoever.

I'm just glad that now Drumpf will obviously admit he is wrong about "fake news" and his minions will fall in line.

 

[Liar]

Not surprising. Fake news (real fake news, not Trump calling critics fake news) fed on confirmation bias. If you fell for it, it was because a) you are a moron and b) you had already made up your mind.

I continue to hope that the Democrats will continue to look towards false narratives to explain, to themselves, the inexplicable loss of an election that they could not lose. They felt free to talk down to those they depended upon to be their Blue Wall and they only reason that they can come up with is that those people fell fro fake news and Russian interference in our elections.

The real story is that they have too many voters in too few congressional districts.

Every time I look at the electoral map I think back to the Harvard "rats in a cage" study from back in the 60's. It's hard to explain the correlation between voting patterns and population density any other way.

Never more appropriate.

The Republicans do have better villains.

Paul Wolfowitz, for example.

Let the good times roll!

Wolfowitz was never a true republican. He was from the 'Scoop' Jackson wing of the democrat party, a wing that no longer exists. he found a home with the country club republicans after his own party went 'progressive.' But for all practical purposes (and talking points) he wears the "Scarlet 'R'."

Speaking of fake news, how about this Massacre that Kellyann just invented? A job at Fox is surely in her future.

Fake News and Alternate Facts are the yin and yang of Wingnut Nation.

I thought all that New American Century stuff was nuts.

I did enjoy reading David Frum's new screed in The Atlantic though.

But back to my point; Republicans make much better villains than Democrats.

I just wish they'd have better sex scandals...they have the hotter babes, so it should be easy.

Trump should definitely relegate her to the sidelines.

She could certainly fake orgasms.

That's good enough for DCL to pass off as his own.

Watch for it!

Not certain why this post didn't mark an end to this thread. At the same time, I am not at all surprised.

What?



No discussion of the statistical analysis? No attempt to discredit the Science? Just supercilious attacks on a brain fart?

That would require having to deal with reality, a country a little too far for some folks.
