Про факт-чекинг
Sep. 30th, 2016 02:45 pmMost voters believe news organizations play favorites when it comes to fact-checking candidates’ statements, but this skepticism is much stronger among voters who support Donald Trump than those who back his rival Hillary Clinton.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that just 29% of all Likely U.S. Voters trust media fact-checking of candidates’ comments. Sixty-two percent (62%) believe instead that news organizations skew the facts to help candidates they support.
На редкость доверчивый народ, конечно. Целых двадцать девять процентов еще верят в эту ерунду, надо же! А ведь есть даже люди, которые верят в производную от этой ерунды – типа, семьдесят процентов высказываний Трампа признано false, а у Клинтон только пятнадцать! И не просто верят, а даже всерьез пытаются использовать это инфоговно в качестве аргумента.

Date: 2016-09-30 11:14 pm (UTC)what was amazing - the debate WAS skewed from the start. Trump was trying to be magnanimous plus he was too busy fielding moderator crap left and right and backward and having a breather in-between - that he did not notice what i did and apparently profis did - teh moderator was quite hostile to Trump and tried to "drown him" from the gitgo.
interestingly, i was not WATCHING, but the sound was way up - Spamsink was watching form the living room, D. from his office perch one level up, and I was listening from the kitchen den.
i saw nobody. it was sound only. i was pissed within ten minutes at the moderator. it was an interesting lesson in sensory gating - remove one modality, you become more sensitized to nonvisual nonmodality context. even TONE ( Molly has to mention that) was different when he spoke to Trump.
and i am not like you and other people who dislike trump or hate hillary. i do neither. remember how you said that a trump type - rude, crass, loud - is inimical to you?
well, to me it is not. IT DEPENDS what is behind rudeness/crassness/loudness. not exactly a kitten, a megalomaniac Munchhausen - but SO WHAT? i have to say that i would have chosen him over the entire republican initial pool of candidates anyway. i don't like Kasich. at all. i don't like Rubio or Cruz. Christy is unelectable and a mafiosi. Bush is a nice man but a milquetoast. Romney is a mormonism-traeger, sorry. i would not take him into SCOUTS, either( you don't know that culture, i am sure)... and so forth. Trump was the only human, not cardboard, fallible, outsider, a 3-partier really. there was nobody to compare him to. Bloomberg is a socialist like Sanders who happened to get rich. Rudi does nt listen to people..
enough rambling. you see the point ;-)

Date: 2016-10-01 03:52 pm (UTC)Being with the left means being against the "majority culture", working for destruction of religion, social and economic structure of the society, patriotism, morals (thus the easiness of doing or accepting immoral things for the sake of winning, the ends justify the means). The leftism is the death instinct of a society. When it becomes predominant, a society dies, and a new order (domestic or foreign) takes its place eventually.
The Clinton - Trump fight is interesting in the sense that they both are products of the old society (unlike Obama or Cruz), thus there is some interesting confusion existing around them, but I do not want to go on and on here and now.
