There isn't news that aren't biased.

Polls are mainly a way to influence people to vote certain way not show who people are actually voting for. Social proof . This will be obvious if you look at the weighting and questions 'Would you vote for Obama or Trump'. Reute

I'm more of a relationship kind a guy, but let me tell you if you workout women are no saints either. Women 'negg' as well and use very brash language of your body parts and what they would do with you.

Will and Ariel Durant - The Lessons of History is a good short read. Probably flawed as well, but gives you food for thought.

Yep, thats the strategy for msm to discredit independent and other news sources. Too bad they destroyed their brand during election. It's clever branding I give them that, but I doubt it flies after election cycle meltdown.

Please MSM colluding with Clinton campaign giving fake news daily. Most shocking being 'Trump raping 13 year kid' which was fabricated as nearly all other negative Trump stories. Read the Podesta wikileaks if you haven't alre

Yes, the second edit backfired massively. The reason pretty much all posts in the_donald are upvoted by users is due to the fact Clintons Correct the record was downvoting the_donald posts in hordes. Again if Reddit would not have aligned t

Also Clinton campaigns Correct the Record[0] took over Reddit during election. Most likely with reddits co-operation. To suppress the voices of Bernie supporters and later Trump supporters. [0] http://www.thedailybeast.com/ar

During election they modified their algo to avoid the_donald posts getting to front page.

Exactly. It's not even trying to be non biased. The bigger issue is with subreddits like r/politics that you would think to be at least somewhat non partisan but was controlled by correct the record during election.

I tried it few weeks back and sadly they force you to add credit card to proceed. Few seconds of googling showed people using fake ones to circumvent it. Not really interested in that nor exposing card details.

I'll worry when Leo stops using his private jet. Goalposts move all the time and the end is here in every tenth year or so. Climate change is happening and some of it is due to humans. I doubt Trump disagrees with that. Shipping '

There isn't a policy that is going to change anything on world scale. Technology is going to be the solution if there is any.

Reality is lot of the science is wrong as well. Intentionally paid by special interest or the end result is defined before any science is done. You don't want to look science religiously either.

There isn't really alt-right not at least in the sense its portrait. People who lean right and don't agree with old republican base seem to be portrait as such. It's just word thinking.

They probably use scarcity to hype the product. See Cialdini's Influence.

Let me ask you this: Why were people so shocked here that Trump won? Could echo chamber sentiment play a part? Trump win was clear for lot of people who did some research instead of outsourcing thinking to FOX/CNN/MSNBC/NYTIM

The reason I've posted lately is to show the Trump supporter side. Is it really a controversy to point stuff out that is obvious but not in the echo chamber? The dirt we get for the sole reason dnc/media has created a certain narr

You heartily wish cancer to Trump supporters? You do understand you are the bigoted one. All people of walks of life supported Trump lgbt being one group of them.

by 551199 10y ago
This is a good example of people believing msm propaganda and not thinking themselves. Trump has been advocate for gays from the 80's and supporting lgbt has been big part of his campaign.

The country is mostly red. Even though Clinton got 200k more votes I'm sure you can see why the the electoral system is in place. There is still 4 million votes that are being counted. Projection even from CNN is that Trump wins the po

The main point of polls is to influence and give social proof to selected candidate. Don't believe me? When you look how they are constructed it becomes clear. Too bad for Clinton campaign she was highly unlikable and even the most exp

All the dissident views about polls being outright wrong were met with disbelief when it was clear to anyone who looked that they were blatantly off. Mainly to create social proof to vote Clinton.

How about one that isn't used only to influence voters? Read Talebs tweets: https://mishtalk.com/2016/08/07/nassim-telab-blasts-nate-sil... https://twitter.com/nntaleb/status/79

FiveThirtyEight and Nate Silver's predictions have been hilariously wrong about Trump in every way possible. Reading this honestly makes me question why I read HN.
