What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

[alfred russel]

One should always use a poll average that takes into acount as many polls as possible.

No, actually one should not always do that. Outlier polls may be using different methodologies, and looking at them can help identify possible problems in the polls. Also, simply averaging a bunch of polls together, regardless of sample size or methodology, is quite crude.

(You misspelled the word "account")

I would like to wish all fathers, even the haters and losers, a very happy Fathers Day.

For fuck's sakes mongers.

That was me underlining my point, otherwise I would have cropped it as per Yi regulations.

Breitbart defanged?

...

Breitbart's first big problem is that its audience is deserting it, falling by more than half since the US election, according to Comscore, from almost 23 million to fewer than 11 million visitors a month.

But an even bigger worry is that a social media campaign run by Sleeping Giants has made Breitbart's advertisers run for cover.

... Sleeping Giants is dedicated to stopping racist, sexist, anti-Semitic and homophobic news sites by stopping their ad dollars. Because of "programmatic" ad buying, many companies don't even know they are appearing on these sites. We inform them and help them with advice on taking their ads down.

— Facebook, Sleeping Giants


Sleeping Giants has now persuaded 2200 companies in the US and Europe to stop their ads appearing on Breitbart.

And according to America's Digiday that boycott is having a massive impact.

Breitbart ads plummet nearly 90 percent in three months as Trump's troubles mount

And remarkably, this dramatic fall in revenue also appears to have persuaded Breitbart to moderate its output. As the Washington Post reported last week:

The clarion of the far right seems to be having second thoughts about how far right it wants to go.

... Breitbart News has lately been trimming back some of its more extreme elements ...

The world press has stopped reading it since the election.

Isn't it ironic that big corporations are now the biggest hammer in the fight against fascism in US?  The mighty ad dollar has achieved more victories for the liberals than everyone else combined.

Corporations are soulless, both for the good and the bad. If it'll cost them money they're against it.

Fascism, lol.

Fascism, lol.

LOLZ but yeah we really need more political words.

Fascism, lol.

Let's ask Raz, he's the only one who actually reads the rag.

They had a whole section dedicated to Black Crime.

[CountDeMoney]

Fascism, lol.

Concur;  fascism is too complex an ideological concept for today's average mouthbreather.

[Oexmelin]

And that's saying something.

Breitbart's a rag and the few times I've visited it I felt my IQ drop a few points. But I'm not a fan of the ideological police "persuading" companies where not to advertise.

That doesn't seem to be the case in this particular instance.  Providing information about where your ad money is going is not "persuading."
