Tommy Carcetti (43,172 posts)The thing to understand about the National Enquirer...…is you didn’t have to buy it to read it.You didn’t even have to consider buying it to read it.All you had to do was stand in the grocery store checkout aisle and there it was, with pictures and big headlines promising huge exclusive stories.So even if you were just standing there, the chances it might subliminally affect you are notable.Hillary Clinton, a crook?Hillary Clinton, deathly ill?Donald Trump, the victim of a set up?All of these things could be communicated without even an actual word being said.And given the margin in the swing states in 2016, the subliminal impact of tabloid headlines on possible voters was much more substantial than you or I might want to admit.ON EDIT: What Trump sought to use the Enquirer for as free advertising and disinformation was the same as what the Russians did for him with social media. Two different types of media but same intended result.https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218889602

It is simply fodder for low information people to glance at while they're stuck in a line at the checkout.
All that evil and criminality sure aged hillary.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site
