Trump is Stranger than Ficti

[John Bailey]

A fine comment I read somewhere is that the media reported all of Trump's
outrages, but Facebook decided who would read them. It's very rare that
most people digest their news without Facebook serving it up to them, and
since which news they're served is decided by algorithms that try to
confirm their worldview or give them something entertaining, compelling or
'relevant' then a demagogue is playing the game right.
