A more important question is when will the new yorker and the rest of the media fix itself before it breaks democracy.
Seems like the new yorker's ( and most of the media's ) definition of "breaking democracy" is when people vote for candidates the new yorker doesn't like. So petty and immature.
Where were these stories the last 8 years? When obama used social media to win elections, social media was great. Now social media is the worst thing ever?
I pass by the New Yorker sign nearly everyday. I used to be impressed by it. Now it seems like a blight on manhattan. Hopefully, the new yorker is doing a better job of hiring their fact checker.
- doodpants 8y agoThis isn't about Trump using social media to win elections. This is about Russia using social media to spread misinformation to influence U.S. elections. No such thing happened 8 years ago.
- akfanta 8y agoHow do you know it didn't happen before? And also, I found blaming everything on Russia is really funny. I mean, yes, they leaked the info and probably changed the course of the history, but it's not like they made up false information. I don't claim I know everything about the leak, but it sounds like it was mostly factual.
- josefresco 8y ago"it's not like they made up false information" Uhhhhhh, you haven't been paying attention. The "DNC hack" was just one of many intrusions perpetrated by the Russians with the assistance of GOP leadership.
