Senior Editor Mollie Hemingway joined Fox News’ “Special Report” to discuss New York billionaire Mike Bloomberg’s historic level of campaign spending, and what it reveals about the power of media and establishment consensus.

Hemingway pointed out how Bloomberg’s failed campaign, despite unlimited resources, pokes holes in the popular narrative that Russia helped Donald Trump “steal” the 2016 election.

I’ve been laughing my butt off about this saying things like “those Russians sure are clever. They managed to tip the 2016 by spending $100,000 on Facebook ads while Bloomberg couldn’t do it spending over $500,000,000.”

Bloomberg didn’t spend the right $100K on Facebook ads. Instead he spent $500 million on the wrong ads.

He chose poorly.

Bloomberg's ads (at least those I saw) were awful. I couldn't imagine them gaining him any significant number of votes.

Or maybe Bloomberg (and also Tom Stayer) simply wanted an excuse to flood the media with ads about themselves, both having money to burn.
