I've. Got. A. Phone.

Hey don't blame I am just good with polling and stats like that. You asked a question, I gave what I think is the correct answer, and no one has suggested otherwise. Forget real news fake news all that garbage, polling is where the manipulation and manufacture are if you can't see the internals of a poll they are bullshit.

I ain't hating on you Clubster. You say "Ferguson" and I say "fine, buuuuuuut how did a fake news story set off a national social movement?".

Just imagine, a totally fake meme permeated our culture so deeply that even after the facts are known and the "hands up don't shot" narrative is proven 100% false, its still the slogan of choice for BLM protests. I am asking how?

Eric Garner was a month before and that was brewing. You also had Travon Martin and then the kid that was shot over loud music in a parking lot. The flame was burning Ferguson was the tinder. Forget phones, this is social media. We cant forget we can't move on, everything just piles on top of another and anyone with a different perspective can be unfriended. But I have a real hard time taking this or any other issue poll at face value. How was the question asked? I can imagine at first the question is asked straight up. "If blacks can't get ahead is that thier responsibility or does racial discrimination play a majority part?" Then in 2014, change the question a little "In light of Eric Garner and Ferguson do you think.....?" Under that circumstance how can someone who only watches the MSM answer anything else.

Facebook users are notoriously easy to manipulate. How many years have we known about this?

LOL

I think that stuff only had a limited shelf-life. People are becoming hardened to the effect of it. If that nasty little manlet runs for president, you will see people ruthlessly mocking him on his own social media platform. Watch for it.

And, no, he won't be able to just censor it or block those people without losing the race entirely for being an asshole. God I hope he runs. It will be glorious.

People are definitely swayed by social media, but mostly by good argumentation on social media (or at least better than the establishment media's attempts). This is why these corporations are trying to limit free speech on their own social media platforms.

Wrong. If you have an iPhone open that bitch and click news.

You'll get a CNN hit piece, NYT, WaPo, and the Daily Beast.

The Obama Phone is the hypno-toad we were forewarned of.

No, MITRE is where great ideas are created. MIT is where you go if you want them destroyed by SJWs...

The next political battleground: your phone

There's a new political battleground in 2016: your phone.

Next year's election presents a new opportunity for politicians to harness a slew of technologies -- from video to demographic data -- that will help them reach voters.

The drive toward connecting with potential voters on their smartphones is playing out, in part, because so many people have one this election cycle. About two-thirds of Americans own a smartphone today, compared with just 35% in the spring of 2011, according to the Pew Research Center. For about 10% of Americans, their smartphone is the only form of high-speed Internet they have access to at home.

Digital technology, including text messaging and social media, was a crucial part of President Barack Obama's electoral success in 2008 and 2012. Hillary Clinton, Obama's primary opponent in 2008, was less digitally competitive during her first White House bid, but she's making a bigger push now that she's back on the campaign trail, hiring a number of former Obama tech operatives to lead her team, including Teddy Goff, who ran the digital strategy team for Obama in 2012.

Can we all agree now that smartphones are being used to fight a culture war?

Using New Media Effectively: an Analysis of Barack Obama's Election Campaign Aimed at Young Americans

[kybkh]

The Obama campaign made more substantial use of citizen voices-but only in one area: the “news blog” on its website where that content could be completely controlled.

The changes from 2008 go beyond the candidates adding social media channels. The Obama campaign has also localized its digital messaging significantly, adding state-by-state content pages filled with local information. It has also largely eliminated a role for the mainstream press. Four years ago the Obama campaign used press clips to validate his candidacy. The website no longer features a “news” section with recent media reports. Now the only news of the day comes directly from the Obama campaign itself. (In the recent redesign, the Obama campaign also highlighted its “Truth Team” section which includes its criticism of the Romney economic plan as well as their accounting of Obama’s initiatives-also as determined by the Obama campaign.)
