Politico: Tabloids’ ‘Ambient Headlines’ May Have Cost Hillary the Election
Breitbart ^ | January 13,2017 | Breitbart News

It’s easy to imagine that tabloids don’t matter; the Enquirer is a relatively small voice in the media kingdom, with a weekly circulation of only 342,071, down from the 5.9 million it commanded in the 1970s. But that misses the importance of the constant cultural background noise it adds to American life:

There are 37,000 supermarkets in America, with an average of about 10 checkout stands each, and many stands feature a wire rack displaying the Enquirer, the Globe, often the company’s other tab, the National Examiner, and celebrity magazines. According to an industry study, American households make an average of 1.5 trips to the supermarket each week.

Every customer passes by the checkout stand, which means that even people who never purchase a tabloid still absorb the ambient headlines, and those headlines can shape their view of the world.

In another reality, would Politico write a headline that read:

“False and biased information on ABC/NBC/CBS/CNN/NYT/WaPo/Chicago Trib/LA Times/Jimmy Fallon/Seth Myers/Comedy Central may have cost Trump the election.”

The Russians, the emails, Comey, Sanders, the electoral college, blah blah blah....

Do these people never stop?!?

We live in a multi-variable world. There were lots of reasons she lost.

One of the most important which they are still not accepting is that she is a lying criminal who ran a horrible campaign!!

But thank you Politico for reminding everyone that Clinton’s corruption was a major issue for the voters.

It’s this reason, that reason, the other reason - but the real reason is never mentioned: CLINTON. She lost because of her personality, her deeds, and her ideology. Clinton was rejected because of herself.

Can people just stop blaming everything and anyone? Hillary herself is to blame for her demise.

Except the Clinton Foundation is a slush fund and the Clinton Crime Family has made an art form out of pay for play....going back to when it rented out the Lincoln bedroom.
