    I don’t get why anything is framed like this. Either/or thinking is the other cousin of whataboutism. (That said, of course mass media is a big part of the story. Duh. And the way traditional media got played by Wikileaks in 2016 is still way underexplored). https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/976463153369362433 …

        I agree w @zeynep Either/or thinking is oblivious to media ecologies where one false or manipulated story then generates news cycle, not only on "cable news" but in NY Times and on Twitter and beyond.

        Tired of hearing from people who do not even understand how microtargeting or Facebook’ API and Ads system even work saying it has zero impact on anything. That’s such a gross underestimation. It not even in the same league as cable tv in terms of power to persuade.

        Part of this is true, but not the right place for the argument. Trumps rallies were played in full and all you saw was Trump during the election. He was given millions of free publicity. If he was fact checked from the start, maybe a different outcome.

        We have a right to demand nuance, but expecting it from Douthat is probably a lost cause, fwiw.

        Agreed, but it's also an understandable reaction to an election close enough that lots of things could have served as the final straw. "It's Russia's/Facebook's/CNN's/Hillary's/Comey's/NYT's fault" could all be theoretically true if each swayed 77,000 votes out of 136.6 million.

        That's why the "was it this or that" framing is misleading! Also, on what planet is "the internet" or "facebook" independent of what happens on cable news? In 2016, Fox news was explicitly competing with Breitbart because of Facebook. 😬 *realizes has to write that piece*

        Vapid think piece. All provacation. If he knew anything at all, he would know that addressable TV (ie, programmatic ads) was one of Cambridge Analytica's main targets. They merged (FB models) w/Comscore-Rentrack. Seriously. [eye roll emoji] https://www.fastcompany.com/40477438/cambridge-analytica-has-your-tv-in-mind-and-an-unlikely-ally …

        I wish you would stop discouraging people from quitting facebook. Some of us have worked really hard to allow kids teens not to join but the parents are all in on it and sign their kids up. We need to champion the open web and options outside that one silo. It's a prison.
