Study Finds 'Fake News' Did Not Influence The 2016 U.S. Presidential Election

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, the latter went on to win the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election

A study released this week found that "fake news" did not influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election, just as the Judiciary Report has stated all along. It was reported this week, "As social media sites like Facebook and Snapchat move to eliminate 'fake news' reports from their sites, Researchers from Stanford and New York Universities say Americans can be sure of one thing: the phenomenon did not affect the results of the presidential election."

Select people in the Democratic National Party's management have repeatedly stated "fake news" from Russia cost their candidate, Hillary Clinton, the 2016 U.S. presidential election. The blame game in this regard is disturbing, as it is untrue. Americans were not going to take their cues from Russia and vice versa. Each time senior management Democrats claim otherwise, they come across as people out of touch with reality, unable to accept defeat.

It is also an insult to the American people when Democrats repeatedly reiterate this nonsense, as Americans are smarter than to fall for "fake news" or use it as the basis for voting. It was also foolish to blame Facebook and Google, for disseminating "fake news" submitted by others and allegedly costing Clinton the election in doing so, after they damaged their name in promoting her in such a bias, annoyingly repetitive manner, while ticking off half the country. They didn't cost Clinton the election.

It's time to accept the fact Clinton is a very flawed, unelectable candidate and they should have went with the more credible, Bernie Sanders. Clinton was beaten by a black man, a minority, who had a spliff in his mouth in university pictures. Americans took one look at Hillary and her track record for corruption, then her rival, Barack Obama and basically thought, "Let's go with the black guy, with the weed chapped lips, whose name we can't even pronounce, who may or may not even be born in the country." Think about that before you scream "fake news" again.

Researchers: Fake News Did Not Alter Election Results

2 Feb - As social media sites like Facebook and Snapchat move to eliminate “fake news” reports from their sites, researchers from Stanford and New York Universities say Americans can be sure of one thing: the phenomenon did not affect the results of the presidential election. Fake news did not affect the presidential election in 2016, researchers say.

The new study released last month investigated the influence that fake news may have had on President Trump’s victory. NYU economics professor Hunt Allcott and Stanford economics professor Matthew Gentzkow led the research. The pair ran a series of tests to determine which fake news articles were circulated, how much of it was circulated, and the amount of voters that believed the stories to be true...
