Andreessen says Breitbart got election coverage right in 2016 (breitbart.com)

I've stopped being on board with viewing "these people," as Marc Andreessen calls them, as having access to some sort of privileged truth, available only to them and Donald Trump. They watched the same campaign we did. They knew everything terrible there was to know about Donald Trump, every bald-faced lie he told, every admission he made about making unwanted sexual advances, every brutish, bullying thing he did to stiff or cheat people who worked with him out of their hard-earned money. They knew everything and they still voted for him, because it didn't matter to them. They believed Donald Trump would help them, so it didn't matter what awful things he said and did. Leaving aside the fact that this is incredibly stupid and that they were duped (Donald Trump is basically sticking his finger in their eye with literally every single action he takes as President), they were willing to accept such behavior if it meant they could be slightly better off. So at some point it really does come down to a fundamental difference of values, a fundamental disagreement about what constitutes decent behavior, behavior that we want to teach our children. And these differences may very well not be reconcilable.

Last, if it weren't for a last-minute letter from the FBI it is quite possible, likely in fact, that the election would have gone the other way. And if that were the case we wouldn't be talking about how Breitbart was the only place that knew what was going on - we'd be saying the same things about how brazenly, shamelessly untrue most of the things that are published there are. And we would be absolutely 100% correct in saying that, as we are when we say it now, knowing what happened instead.
