A new “study” suggests fake news cost hillary the election. You know the sad part? The official real(fake) news had hillary winning across the board. Every msm anchor in her corner. Collusion between msm/dnc. BUT it was some internet memes, so called “fake news”that cost her the election.. All the kings horses couldn’t put humpty pants suit in the wh. Now they want to sell us this crap? Ha

It was $50k worth of Russian bots that did it, yea that's the ticket.


This is like something out of the Caine Mutiny when Bogart was testifying about strawberries.

Is that so far fetched really? Hillary lost because of an average of 0.4 percent of the vote in three states. If this forum is any indication, there are many, far higher than 0.4 percent, that buy into fake news. In terms of shear percentage, it is very possible that Russian backed fake news cost her the election. My view is that it was the Comey letter that was the nail in her coffin, but fake news was a factor whether you wish to acknowledge it or not.

The absolute best part was that it was Facebook.

I know that I always consult Russian bots before I do anything, even writing a shopping list. After all, I'm single and don't have a male boss, husband or son to tell me what to do. Have pity, sir, for I am but a humble, fragile female.

Who determines what is "fake news" and what isn't?

Just by interacting with you on this forum I would argue that what I consider fake news is truth to you and vice versa.

Which one of us is "right" and which one of us is "wrong"?

Hillary spent over $1.2B to Trumps $700M(?)!

She should have beat him in a landslide. The blame rests on her and nobody else.

The fact that everyone is constantly searching for any excuse other than that for more than 16 months is the sign of mental illness.

At this rate we will be talking about how Hillary lost because of this or that for another 6 years. If/When a dem is in office it'll be the right doing the same thing.

IT IS OLD AND WORN OUT

You're both wrong as long as you believe any multi-national news conglomerate is telling you the truth.

That was tough, I'm exhausted. shwew

I got a email from Vlad election day and went immediately to the polls and voted for Trump. Otherwise I was going to vote for Hillary.

Case in point, I remember my mother telling me she was voting for Trump because the Pope endorsed him. Is there any dispute that was fake news?
