>What power of influence was recently discovered (specifically re: 2016 election)?
The power of social media. Crowd sourcing information...
>How much power of influence does Twitter, FB, Reddit, etc. have in influencing the minds of people?
Social media flows in real time without pundits regurgitating information as they see fit.
>Has the stranglehold of the MSM been diminished?
Yes, they are fake news and even normies are starting to see it.
>What is open source?
Information presented in it's raw context, unfiltered and unhidden.
>What has become blatantly obvious since the election of POTUS?
The media is no longer able to control the narrative.
>Why would they allow this (visibility) to occur?
They are backed into a corner like a dangerous animal. They are lashing out at POTUS and any person who counters their narrative. They are in the final stages of death.
>Were they not prepared to counter?
No, She was supposed to win.
>What miscalculation occurred?
They controlled the polls, they controlled the flow of information; only no one was buying it. They were getting their information from social media. From friends and co-workers. No one cared about the polls or their spin. No one was listening. They spent a billion dollars and all they had to show for it was loss.
>What opposite impact did this generate?
People realized that the media was corrupt and wrong. They saw the agenda. It was unmistakable. The media lies. The same media that failed to predict the election is now trying to gauge POTUS job performance. They never learn. The well has been poisoned.
