StuartO Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 In this era of social media, even the traditional way of twisting things to spread the chosen perception prior to an election, i.e. broadcast media and the press, have lost their power. It seems fairly clear that President Trump's campaign for re-election is going to make use of every trick in the new book of how toinfluence things. If you can dominate social media, you can win the election campaign. I find that a pretty terrifyng thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdbrain Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Dont know if you have noticed MSN media doesnt like POTUS Trump so social media is as good as it gets ... Just to add with every demo, riot, mob looting etc by BLM/Antifa, those who traditionally vote Democrat they are a God send for POTUS Trump and his campaign for re-election ...

John52 Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 It was thought Social media would take influence away from the £billionaire tax exiles who own the press and who promote the politicians who support them at our expense. But it seems they are dominating social media too https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/jul/03/land-reform-brute-power-billionaire-press-attacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John52 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I'll try again *-) How do you think newspapers should be funded? No sensible suggestions? OK I'll try and simplify the question Is it better to be funded by thousands of readers , or by a couple of £billionaire tax exiles telling you who to vote for ?
