“The rightwing boycott”

One of the few times I’m glad a story is behind a pay wall.

“The rightwing boycott”

I think Rational Wing boycott would be more correct.

The crux of the article:

“People often talk about this topic in social media like noise,” chief executive Michel Doukeris told the Financial Times. “You have one fact and every person puts an opinion behind the fact. And then the opinions start to be replicated fast on each and every comment. By the time that 10 or 20 people put a comment out there, the reality is no longer what the fact is, but is more [about] what the comments were.”

I guess he is saying social media posters made up the entire Mulvaney ad thing and it just got passed along much like the old “whisper” game from when we were kids.
