The FB propaganda effect is easy to measure. Just look at how 'surprised' Dem Facebook were that Trump won, vs the same with Repub users.
The level of surprise should be identical among both groups, but that's very obviously not the case. Facebook feeding its users biased news isn't the only reason Trump won, but given how many hours per day folks spend on the site (compared with traditional media) it was clear a huge contributing factor.
- newdayrising 10y agoOh c'mon. Do you really believe Facebook is stacked with Republicans? Don't you remember the controversy over Facebook censoring conservative views? If anything, the company was pro-Clinton
- Alex3917 10y agoFacebook's pro-Clinton bias is why Trump won. Clinton's supporters were completely insulated from reality, and many were celebrating their victory before the election even happened.
- ddorian43 10y agoDamn! I'm seeing everywhere that many people "handed" this election to Trump. The man won it himself. Hillary is basically the worst case of homosapiens (always wrong side of history, supporter of bill cheater (i'm with bill etc)).
