"In the course of my reporting, though, I began to see Obama’s plans for the Middle East not simply as a geopolitical maneuver, but as a device to remake the Democratic Party—which it would do in part by rewiring the machinery that produced what a brilliant young political theorist named Walter Lippmann once identified, in his 1922 book, as “public opinion.”"
"When I wrote about Rhodes’ ambitious program to sell the Iran deal, I advanced the term “echo chambers” to describe the process by which the White House and its wider penumbra of think tanks and NGOs generated an entirely new class of experts who credentialed each other on social media in order to advance assertions that would formerly have been seen as marginal or not credible, thereby overwhelming the efforts of traditional subject-area gatekeepers and reporters to keep government spokespeople honest."
It's rather long, and IMHO it's very important as well as good, but it shows the manipulative nature of a Manchurian candidate, who many feared saying they didn't vote for (for the obvious reason), and the cast of thugs, essentially Neo-Cons (AKA "Nazis"), who built it.
Thus, why I don't waste my time on "social media".
