It's not clear to me which is more of a problem. With obviously fake news you can at least use well-researched facts to argue against it. When CNN keeps pushing the narrative (i.e. relentlessly talking about Hillary "winning" the debates when in hindsight she obviously didn't) it's a much more subversive, subtle kind of fake.
- jacquesm 10y agoCNN winning is merely them echoing the majority sentiment of the polls, maybe with a dash of hope thrown in. Ironically this may have done Clinton in with people thinking well, if she's won already then I don't need to go and vote. Hindsight is always 20/20, it is very easy to see Clinton winning as a 'narrative' pushed with an agenda whereas based on the data available to them that simply made good sense. See also: Trump expecting fully to lose (in his own words at some point).
- jakeogh 10y agoA dash? From CNN all the way to FOX it was 23x7 schilling for the global government faction. Usually it's not so difficult because both candidates are in it. Trump ruined that technique and two parasitic political dynasties with it. Polls of AZ with a ~+15% Dem sample (when R turnout and D crossover was already off the charts) were used to run stories about how Clinton could win AZ... and TX! Attributing it to incompetence ignores the other obvious and well tested reason. http://i.imgur.com/VUdcIou.jpg http://i.imgur.com/VUdcIou.jpg
