There was a study done by two PhD professors shortly after the election...looking at social media, fake news and what people could ‘remember’.

So they found that most people forget whatever they saw via social media within ten days (we aren’t talking about fifty or sixty percent....it closer to 90-percent). Another thing they found was that just having an ad or fake news piece pop up on your Facebook listing....didn’t mean that folks would click on it. The vast majority simply skipped the ‘click’.

Folks may hype up this social media messaging thing but I have doubts that it really amounted to anything. What Trump did do smartly...was skip the news media and just lay out his speeches via Twitter, Facebook, or YouTube. It’s the same way that you or I view the White House press briefings today...unfiltered, via YouTube.

The media will never concede Hillary is rotten.
