Well, the young, indipendant, investigative, millennial journalists saw a rise in viewers and supporters. The podesta are still receiving hate mail and midnight phone calls to this day. His wife answers and apologizes for him. And I'm pretty sure it cost H.Clinton the presidential seat. I know I myself did an abrupt 180, and a lot of people I knew as well. Also, to my personal experience, it was a catalyst that caused a lot of people to buy guns, start shooting regularly, having weekend warrior drills, grow and process their own food, homeschool their kids and join their local militias. The militia thing didn't always jive with a couple "pods", so they kinda started their own thing... Let's see, oh yeah! Awarness of CIA activity massively increased, as well as cold war history and tactics. Real eye opener! Of course nobody's reporting on this stuff, but that's what I saw happen. It's all sloshing around now in this dramatic pandemic pause we're currently having.
