Outrage Dilution by Scott Adams (terrorists, vote, work, news)

[Dockside]

Scott Adams is the creator of Dilbert and he's always had a shrewd take on Trump. From his blog -

I’m having a fun time watching President Trump flood the news cycle with so many stories and outrages that no one can keep up. Here’s how the math of persuasion works in this situation:

1 outrage out of 3 headlines in a week: Bad Persuasion

25 outrages out of 25 headlines in a week: Excellent Persuasion

Outrage Dilution | Scott Adams' Blog

And you can see it right here on CD. Trump has driven the left into a frenzy. I'll respond to a thread, and come back a couple hours later only to find the thread already pushed to Page 2 by all the new threads created by freshly outraged Democrats. It's impossible to keep up. Don't you folks realize Trump is having a wonderful time playing you?

I know the left is in love with Islamic terrorists, so I thought they would run with the 'sneaky dirty rat' comment Trump made about them. They must just be too swamped to pick up on it yet. He said it twice so I knew he was baiting them.

Lol...I missed that. Thanks for the heads-up. I think most of them are too busy posting every WaPo article published.

I noted this the other day. They need ignore the stupid stuff. The arguments over vote counts. Ignore them. The important stuff is going to get buried in the stupid stuff.
