Blazing Saddles... You know, morons.

People not viewing the information we want them to view? Why not make your good information mandatory, and prohibit the bad information! Facebook didn't do anything to democracy; the electorate has always been mostly simple salt-of-the-earth, common-clay people [1]. The kind of people who've been swayed by yellow journalism before, and would eagerly spread completely fabricated rumors about candidates amongst themselves. The article also rings hollow when talking about how "no one could have seen this coming" since evidently Russia, the Trump campaign, and Beitbart (and, honorable mention, Scott Adams? [2]) had all managed to see it coming. Instead, I suspect the author is simply bitter about the fact that Clinton was unable to buy as the same kind of impressions as Trump, despite spending twice as much. [1] [this video] [2] [link]
