I found the Pew poll regarding Russian involvement in the email hack but not one involving direct hacking of tallies. Do you have a link?
I followed the election from a variety of sources (WaPo and NYT included) and never got that impression. But I agree that it was a circus from all angles.
- garanduss 10y agoIt looks like it was from The Economist and YouGov - I falsely remembered it being Pew. Here's a WaPo article with a summary and a link to the raw data: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/rampage/wp/2016/12/28/americans-especially-but-not-exclusively-trump-voters-believe-crazy-wrong-things/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/rampage/wp/2016/12/28/am...
- wybiral 10y agoThanks. Yeah, those are some disturbing results... Do you think it's mostly from misleading mainstream news stories? Or from smaller outlets (social media, celebrities, memes, etc)?
- garanduss 10y agoMisleading mainstream media, IMO. I'm conservative and the headlines about "election hacking" actually duped me until I had the time to read a thorough article about it.
- wybiral 10y agoI totally agree with you there. Most online news articles use those annoying click-bait titles and try to make the story seem bigger than it is (in a misleading way). Even weather.com does that crap with weather stories.
