1) Anecdote is not evidence.
2) In one breath you dismiss this article as elitism, and in the very next admit the problem of fake news, which is exactly what this article is talking about. It's not another discussion. It is exactly this discussion. I've never seen such a blatant use of straw man.
- ThomPete 10y agoThe article claims that Zuckerberg is wrong in his claim that the fake news affected the election in any meaningful way. Thats what I am talking about, not sure what exactly make you say it's a straw man.
- dclowd9901 10y agoI don't even know what kind of point you're trying to make now. In your post you describe a class of individuals so out of touch that they can't believe Trump voters weren't tricked, yet admit that fake news exists and is a problem. Which is it, bub?
- ThomPete 10y agoOk lets try again. It's not enough of a problem i.e. it din't affect the election in any meaningful way. Not sure why that's so hard to understand.
