Just like when I pull into a gas station, the electricity to run the gas pump is a "subsidy" to my gasoline purchase -- NOT !!!
If I want to buy an ad in any kind of media they have people who will help me with that. This is not a subsidy -- the cost of the ad pays the salaries of the helpers.
What I am really reading here is that Hillary's team though they were smarter than the people at Facebook, and decided to do it their own way. Team Trump accepted all the help they could get, and were more effective. You decide which trait makes the better President.
And then there’s Cambridge Analytica, which even the mention of seems taboo.
