WFB’s Harrington on Cambridge Analytica, Facebook: People’s Minds Weren’t Warped to Vote Trump

‘In the end, I don’t think this effects what happened in 2016 in the election’

EXCERPT:

HARRINGTON: "Sure. I think you can look at this. It’s on Facebook and I think we kind of know social media, Google, Facebook. This is what advertisers do all the time. And the story here now is being targeted that the Trump campaign somehow used this data, you know, and it taints his victory as illegitimate. Another one of these stories that tries to say that Trump’s victory was somehow helped either by Russia or social media or fake news, but the problem here is I don’t think this company, you have this pink hair vegan Christopher Wylie, whistle-blower says that Cambridge Analytica had the power to warp your perception of what is real around you. But the problem is people didn’t have to have their minds warped to vote for Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton. In the end, I don’t think this effects what happened in 2016 in the election."
