BubberMiley Posted January 9, 2017 Report Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) 6 minutes ago, blueblood said: Trump had a positive message about the economy, taking on illegal immigration, and dealing with corruption. The msm was the ones talking about podestas emails which we don't know the source of. Nobody knows the source even though Russia, china, North Korea, and Steve from a basement in Silicon Valley continuously hack away at their leisure. Now you're blaming the MSM for being in the tank for Trump? While they certainly have given him an easy ride, considering the things he has said, according to Politifact he mentioned the hacked emails 164 times just in the last month of the campaign. You can't just make stuff up and hope it's true. Edited January 9, 2017 by BubberMiley Quote "I think it's fun watching the waldick get all excited/knickers in a knot over something." -scribblet

To say trump got an easy ride in the msm is questionable at best.

segnosaur Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 58 minutes ago, Hal 9000 said: What exactly did Putin do to sway the election? Thought that was pretty obvious. All political organizations will have internal/non-public discussions (about things like strategy, preferences, etc.) Some ideas may be brought up that end up getting soundly rejected by the majority. Many of the Democratic party leaks fall into that category. (For example, the worker who suggested using Sanders' religion against him, an idea that was soundly rejected.) However, by leaking the emails, the hackers managed to build a false narrative that somehow Clinton was dirty because, well, she won the primary. Now, had the Trump side been similarly hacked and their emails leaked, we may have seen similar issues... an email between Trump campaign workers about "How can we cover Trump's latest lies?" may have turned off a few voters. But because the hacking was only directed at Clinton and the Democrats we got an unbalanced view of how things work. Now, I have no idea about how that ultimately affected the election. Maybe it caused enough potential Clinton supporters to stay home on election day to tip the election in favor of Trump, maybe he would still have won. But much like attempted murder... sometimes its a problem even if you try something (even if you don't accomplish your goals). Quote
Hal 9000 Posted January 10, 2017 Report Posted January 10, 2017 So, the truth was revealed to the American voters and people are upset about it! What do we say about leaders from Germany and the UK (among others) getting in front of the press to try and sway American voters...Or foreign business leaders? Everybody in the world had their say, the only difference is that foreign Hillary supporters gave hyperbolic opinions, while Russia (maybe) provided clear truth.
