Here we are a few weeks later, and we have already acquired the proof that #Katie Couric‘s ‘Under the #Gun‘ is about as accurate as the NY Times’ discredited hit piece on Trump.
“We did quote-unquote debut it last week. But we have no intention of doing anything with it, if you will,” DeCleene told AdWeek. “It’s literally a one-off, isolated promotion. If anything, it’s truly meant to give props to #Salt Lake, because for a city that size, 1,500 miles away from us, we just thought, ‘Wow, that’s killer.’ “
Gonzalez pressed the SDUSD for the name change presumably for her own personal reasons, because she certainly wasn’t prompted by any public outcry. As reported by Breitbart:
#School City of Mishawaka is looking to make several improvements at its schools, but it needs approval from the #school board and from Mishawaka voters first.
They’ve done a very similar experiment before, and the results were significant. In a paper published earlier this year in Nature, Fowler and his colleagues announced that a #Facebook message and behavior-sharing communication increased the probability that a person votes by slightly more than 2 percent. That may not seem like a huge effect, but when you have a huge population, as Facebook does, a small uptick in probability means substantial changes in voting behavior.
Facebook confirmed in a paper in Science that it often shows users news from users with similar political beliefs, and on average, you’re about 6 percent less likely to see content that the other political side favors. This means that who you’re friends with and their political beliefs influence what you see more than th algorithm does.
What happens, though, if such technologies are misused by the companies that own them? A study by Robert M Bond, now a political science professor at Ohio State University, and others published in Nature in 2012 described an ethically questionable experiment in which, on #election day in 2010, Facebook sent ‘go out and vote’ reminders to more than 60 million of its users. The reminders caused about 340,000 people to vote who otherwise would not have. Writing in the New Republic in 2014, Jonathan Zittrain, professor of international law at Harvard University, pointed out that, given the massive amount of information it has collected about its users, Facebook could easily send such messages only to people who support one particular party or candidate, and that doing so could easily flip a close election – with no one knowing that this has occurred. And because advertisements, like search rankings, are ephemeral, manipulating an election in this way would leave no paper trail.

I rightfully, and masterfully, ridiculed #Katie Couric and her new #anti-gun ‘#documentary‘ a while ago on the show. She appeared on ‘The Late Show with Steven Colbert’ to peddle her new fiction movie called ‘#Under The Gun.’ From the clips she showed it was clear this movie was going to be an exercise in #selective editing, and leading questions.

I also mocked her for stating that ‘the NRA only represents 5% of gun owners.’ No Katie, the #NRA represents 100% of gun owners. Only 5% are paying members.

Plus, we already know her claim that 90% want #universal background checks is a #debunked#myth. When you ask the question in a specific way about private transfers, 53% of Americans disagree with having background checks of this nature.
Of course, anyone who watches that scene absent the raw/true audio will know it is heavily edited. Confirmation bias, however, will make anti-Constitution advocate WANT to believe it wasn’t edited to push a false narrative.
The Virginia Citizens Defense League labeled the deceptively edited segment featured in the film “unbelievable and extremely unprofessional.” Philip Van Cleave, the organization’s president, said the editing was done deliberately to make it appear that league members didn’t have a response to Couric’s question.
“Katie Couric asked a key question during an #interview of some members of our organization,” he said. “She then intentionally removed their answers and spliced in nine seconds of some prior video of our members sitting quietly and not responding. Viewers are left with the misunderstanding that the members had no answer to her question.”
In all honesty, you guys should have known better. Maybe you did. Perhaps that’s why we have the raw audio.
There are many false claims in the movie that have been #exposed, but Katie Couric and the anti-Constitution lobby are all in using the Joseph Goebbels model of propaganda.

After an Elkhart family’s pit bull was shot and killed in their front yard by a police officer who believed it was charging him, the family has been issued two citations for failing to control the animal.
The U.S., along with other with the rest of the world, should aim “to increase the price of meat and other unsustainable products,” through a carbon tax. This proposal was greeted with deep skepticism by Marlo Lewis Jr., a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute.
“The liberal media has taken their Clinton sycophancy to a new low. CNN needs to address this bias and lack of journalistic integrity,” Doug Stafford said in a statement. “This email revelation should give Republicans pause as to their coverage and possibility of fair treatment towards Sen. Paul during the next debate. All eyes will be on CNN’s response to their employee colluding with Hillary Clinton in order to attack a prominent U.S. senator on their dime.”
A rider attached to the omnibus spending bill would change Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rules requiring all e-cigarette products released after February 15, 2007, to undergo the costly Pre-Market Tobacco Applications (PMTA) process.
Putin has retaliated against the Turkmen in Latakia, Syria (west coast) who killed one of his pilots yesterday as he parachuted out of his plane that was shot down by Turkey, heavily bombing them from both air and sea:
A Utah father is fighting for custody of his newborn daughter, Kaylee. Colby Nielson said watching his daughter being taken away was the hardest thing he’s ever experienced. He was forced to give up his daughter after the baby’s biological mother gave her up for adoption last week.
What started as a film about the men’s rights movement became a parallel documentary about the men’s movement and Jaye’s journey as a modern feminist. In a recent conversation, she would not tell me the details of her moment of realization. It is a pivotal event in her film, and it informs the title, “The Red Pill.”
Researchers determined liberals have a pronounced tendency to use extremely simplistic arguments and refuse to grant legitimacy to any opposing viewpoints when discussing the environment. The study found liberals “think less” about the environment and act emotionally, not logically, on such issues.
From the publicly available data, Ewert made an unbelievable discovery: Between the years 2010 and 2012 the data measured since 1881 were altered so that they showed a significant warming, especially after 1950. […] A comparison of the data from 2010 with the data of 2012 shows that NASA-GISS had altered its own datasets so that especially after WWII a clear warming appears – although it never existed.
