The US Election Thread...

I think at times you forget websites live off clicks. Media get funding through its audience figures. Money off ads.

Huff post does exactly that. It will report on what gets the biggest reaction. 5.1k shares on that crappy article for example. People are like goldfish, they will forget. You just clicked on that article, shared it, gaining how many views?. Yet you will forget about it in a few days. You have done exactly what they wanted you to do.

The majority of populations do not want incisive news reporting. They want wish washy headlines that are easily absorbed after a long days work, while struggling to look after their kids.

The BBC may have a stance on something and it reports along that line. But to say it is biased in totality is wrong. Its subject base is so wide, the vast majority of its reporting is accurate and better than anything else available.

I don't think a lot of people value it at times. That is why the world service is biggest broadcaster on the planet - People in foreign countries think it is credible.

Lumped a tenner on at 9/2. Money to be made, folks...

Do you know how bodies such as the BBC World Service and The British Council came about?

Not really.

But I imagine you are about to tell me it was formed to fuel propaganda.

Another glueyism :hehe:

Is something cooking? :sherlock:

Earlier today the best price available for Trump was 4-1, now it's 7-2. Gold's up, and gold mining stocks (the perceived biggest winners of a Trump victory) are up 2%. Then there's this report of live polling in the critical swing stakes. If he's ahead in the four states they polled, one of which hasn't voted Republican since 1988, then a Trump landslide would be in the offing.

I think exclusionary detailing is the term you are looking for :thumbup:

I thought you were going to explain to me why the BBC was formed out of something other than spreading British news and ideals walesbales.

That's not how it works....

Dai Splott used to do that. Unsure if you can respond on this, but he used to say "go read a book" when he was taken to task on something.

The opinion poll numbers I mentioned. http://us13.campaign-archive1.com/?u...&id=e8554a1cd7

Pennsylvania
Clinton: 46.51%
Trump: 48.43%
Johnson: 2.30%
Stein: 1.08%
Other/Undecided: 1.69%
(1300+ Respondents, MOE +/- 2.68)

Florida
Clinton: 46.13%
Trump: 49.72%
Johnson: 2.43%
Stein: 0.62%
Other/Undecided: 1.09%
(1100+ Respondents, MOE +/- 2.89)

Michigan
Clinton: 46.82%
Trump: 48.52%
Johnson: 2.89%

I don't recall doing so. However, the odds for Remain/Leave and Clinton/Trump on the morning of the votes are identical, 1-4 and 3-1.

It's probably just taking into account the industrial scale of intimidation and disenfranchisement of probable Clinton supporters.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...n-results-live

No federal observers in many regions after the gutting of the Voting Rights Act in 2013.

Closure of 868 voting places in mainly southern states with high African-American populations.

Voting machines breaking down and voters turned away in polling stations where Clinton would expect to do well.

Trump vigilantees turning up as he asked to intimidate and threaten - and give the confederate flag a wave. Yee haa !!

I will be staying up to watch tonight. I can't see past a Clinton win BUT it will be interesting to see how big the shy Trump vote is. Although being pro Hilary is equally as socially unacceptable in some parts of America. Just like the EU referendum, the first state to announce will tell us a huge amount.

In one of the most eventful years in the history of the world will 2016 provide us with another monumental moment?

Florida gives a massive indication of the result and that should come through relatively early so worth staying up I guess.

PBS do decent documentaries and there is one on channel 534 at 9pm.

I tempered that since then by stating she would be more of a liability than an asset thanks mainly to Wikileaks. That opinion poll I posted yesterday was spot on, shame I didn't have a bet on him. Trump has promised to 'drain the swamp'. I think that means end corruption, maybe lock some baddies up. He's also promised to end Obama Care, which is a millstone around American necks. Those who choose not to get health care insurance are fined. The Mexican Wall? That won't happen. For the first time in nearly a century Republicans control all of Congress along with the Presidency. One thing he will do is the infrastructure stuff with gazillions of magic money. That's what will cause global hyperinflation, and why you need some shiny.

You mean you don't think he's owned by the establishment? Discover the connections his son-in-law Jared Kushner and campaign manager has. I predict the first country he visits as president will be the one next door to Lebanon, if you get my drift.

There was a time when Bilderberg was a buzzword for the loon army. It'll have to take a bit of a backseat along with Thermite, NWO and Flat Earth etc.

Oh well, move on, new angle to invent tomorrow. :biggrin:

Unless it's in the Dandy or Beano you're a doubting Thomas.

For all I know you have 20 quid in a Post Office account and hyperinflation would be neither here nor there to you.

You keep getting everything wrong, of course I'm going to doubt you.

The Hillary been offered the job a decade ago is one of my favourites though. :biggrin:

You mentioned Bilderberg further up. They both attended Bilderberg 2008 in the USA. It was covered-up by the corporate media. But you don't care to know because you prefer to believe in inexplicable coincidences instead. Trump also stated over and over that he'd put Clinton in jail. Do you think he will?

Wasn't it reported on the loon sites that Clinton was the beefburgers choice this time around?

That being the case and with all their power how come Trump has beaten their guy (or woman in this case)?

No, he won't put Hilary in jail, couldn't if he wanted to.
He won't build that fecking wall either.
But his rhetoric appealed to the masses who are too stupid to see through him

As I said, thanks to all the leaks, anyone with an interest knew she lied about mishandling government files. Who else but the brainless would believe that she didn't realise that folders with a big red C on the front of them did represent confidential, as she claimed. They would also know that she knew very well (because she stated so in an undisputed email) two years ago that Saudi Arabia and Qatar were (and are) ISIS' biggest sponsors, and yet she through her corrupt Clinton Foundation accepted millions from them. That's something else that's been covered-up by your beloved corporate media.
