Political analyst. Why did you decide to write a book . Guest people around me didnt get it. Journalists who oftentake themselves very seriously, think theyre supersmart and understand the world were frequently underestimating donald trump. Being surprised by things he did and being incorrect in their predictions because of it. In the beginning when he started to run this round, i assumed it would be like previous rounds where he made a splash, got publicity and not been serious and i felt very foolish a lot later when i didnt do more research earlier, because once i started to dig into Donald Trumps life, his successes in business, entertainment, city politics, occasionally at National Political levels, hes laid out a plan of what he was going to do. He at the entire time had come across opponents whod never read his books, never read his plan where he laid it all out. They were surprised when every time he would do something and it seemed like according to the jeb bush playbook, it s
Prepared in advance and so well start with some questions about the news in this current year. Its only been a year since the president ial election, but it seems very hard to remember a time when facebook wasnt synonymous with fake news. People who disseminated false information on social media range from those who are fblly motivated to Foreign Government propaganda agents. Whats your take on fake news and its impact on the outcome of the 2016 election . You know, i think the mike. Microphone. Microphone. I think the impact of fake news was to allow prooimarily the trp voters to discount what was going on in the mainstream media, no matter how bad it was for their candidate or how bad it was factually, they just it allowed them to assume that it was coming from a biased point of view and that therefore they ignored it. And, you know, that has not been typical of american campaigns in the past. So i have a slightly different view on fake news in the sense that i think we focus a lot o
Of the 2016 election . You know, i think the mike. Microphone. Microphone. I think the impact of fake news was to allow prooimarily the trp voters to discount what was going on in the mainstream media, no matter how bad it was for their candidate or how bad it was factually, they just it allowed them to assume that it was coming from a biased point of view and that therefore they ignored it. And, you know, that has not been typical of american campaigns in the past. So i have a slightly different view on fake news in the sense that i think we focus a lot on the fact that, you know, this news might have, you know, changed the results of the election and i think in fake news of a symptom verses a cause. So i think its a symptom of the polarization thats in this country. So my backgrounds in psychology and a lot of the research that gets done is about how people believe what they want to believe. And really smart people who have access to all the news that they and should know Better Beli
Of games, really. We equalised very laid against west ham. We scored a late winner against stoke and a late winner here today. So i have to commend the players attitude and determination to keep going even when things dont look as though they are going to go our way. Burnley have moved fourth and into the Champions League spots after a late Ashley Barnes goal in the 89th minute gave them victory over stoke city at turf moor. The win takes sean dyches side, for 2h hours at least, ahead of the likes of liverpool, arsenal and tottenham. The reality is we have another tough game on saturday. You know we are enjoying this, of course, the players and the right. The next game is quickly on saturday. That is the focus. I am pleased with the lads tonight. They have to work hard tonight, grind it out. A real moment of quality to win it. That one will be parked. Thursday we look to recover and move onto the next one. And chelsea have returned to the Winners Circle after their loss against west ha
