President Donald Trump has said repeatedly that Russian interference didn't matter in the 2016 election, and he has suggested -- wrongly -- that the intelligence and law enforcement communities have said the same. His overriding fear seems to be that Russian interference and the "fake news" it promoted would undermine the legitimacy of his election win.
Trump won't like this new study one bit.

Irony; using FAKE news to impugn the FAKE news. You really are too stupid for words.
"When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny."
A lie doesn't become the truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good just because it is accepted by a majority.

The study from researchers at Ohio State University finds that fake news likely played a significant role in depressing Hillary Clinton's support on Election Day 2016.
The study, which has not been peer reviewed but which may be the first look at how fake news impacted voter choices, suggests that roughly 4 percent of former President Barack Obama's 2012 supporters were dissuaded from voting for Clinton in 2016 by belief in fake-news stories.
Richard Gunther, Paul Beck and Erik Nisbet, the study's authors, inserted three popular fake-news stories from the 2016 campaign into a massive, 281-question YouGov survey given to 585 Obama supporters in December 2016 -- 23 percent of which didn't vote for Clinton, either by abstaining or picking another candidate. Here are the false stories, along with the percentages of Obama supporters who believed they were at least "probably" true (in parenthesis):
• Clinton was in "very poor health due to a serious illness" (12 percent)
• Pope Francis endorsed Trump (8 percent)
• Clinton approved weapons sales to Islamic jihadists, "including ISIS" (20 percent)

an idiot on the internets verses studies and the FBI

idjit. I happily voted for Bernie, not that i agreed with a lot,
but he promised to shake things up, and I support universal heath care.
Clinton is an establishment corrupt warmonger-dragged into supporting SP and opposing the TPP
She's a corporate whore -anathema to Bernie supporters
