In case you were needing another example of why everyone distrusts the media and why Donald Trump became president, we give you The Boston Globe and writer Matt Rocheleau who wants to know, “Is the eclipse throwing shade at Clinton supporters?” Yes, The Globe actually politicized the upcoming solar eclipse.

Later this month, August 21st, there will be a rare total solar eclipse that will be visible in the United States from coast to coast. However, if you don’t happen to live in the middle of the transit — a thin path of totality — you will only see a partial eclipse. And that’s where Rocheleau believes Hillary supporters are being discriminated against:

There are about 240 counties roughly along the central path of the eclipse, a 70-mile-wide trail extending across the country where people will be able to see a total eclipse, meaning the sun will appear completely obscured by the moon.

And about 92 percent of those counties swung in Trump’s favor, while fewer than two dozen counties voted for his opponent, Hillary Clinton.

Trump won many of those counties by a wide margin, securing an average of 71 percent of the vote in counties he won along the path. Clinton, by comparison, got only about 56 percent of the vote in counties she won along the eclipse path.

And of the more than 6.2 million votes cast in those counties for one of those two candidates, 59 percent were for Trump, while 41 percent were for Clinton.

Rocheleau noted that the only Clinton in favor of Trump was Clinton, Missouri, which just so happens to be in the direct path of totality. Almost 70% of votes there went to Trump. And the conspiracy grows:

Still, it’s not entirely surprising that the eclipse’s path of best perspective could slice through the entire country while mostly avoiding areas that backed Clinton.

While she won the popular vote, Trump won the Electoral College and about 84 percent of the country’s 3,100-plus counties.

Clinton won more voters overall because she captured densely populated urban areas, including New York City, Los Angeles, and Boston. Trump, by contrast, won many rural areas with small populations.

The report even included a generated map of counties that went to either Trump or Clinton on the eclipse's path:

But here is where The Globe really jumps the shark:

Perhaps it’s not a surprise that the solar eclipse is passing over Trump strongholds given that the president himself was born during a lunar eclipse.

On June 14, 1946, the day Trump was born, there was a total lunar eclipse, though it wasn’t visible from the United States, NASA records show. Instead, it could be seen from parts of South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia.

We repeat: This is from The Boston Globe, not The Onion.
