Wait.
So, if the Russians say 2+2=4 I need to say 5?

This thing is so bizarre. Do you want to tell me that those trolls have more influence on people than the mass media that was 99% anti Trump?

If it does, and few trolls can convince better than the mass media, maybe the trolls message is right?

(Just for the record, I was born in USSR and I speak Russian, but I'm Jewish origin.)

I think the purpose of his interview was to show that good and honest Americans were unwittingly manipulated by an organized Russian effort to influence our election.

The reporter was telling her that the group "Being Patriotic" wasn't an American group, it was a Russian group. This is a fact that has been unearthed by the Mueller investigation. And Mrs Goldfarb refuses to believe that FACT.

That woman was going to vote for Trump regardless of some facebook group . She said she even went to "in person" meetings with members and none of them were "Russian Agents" .....

Anyone that believes that some group of Russian trolls that will never even be indicted made them vote Trump through facebook posts is still not over the election. I don't even know why CNN is beating a dead horse . Its been dead for a while, and its getting to a point where people are just ignoring their unethical journalism .

Yes, that woman was going to vote for Trump no matter what. That woman went beyond voting, to trying to persuade others to vote for Trump. By spreading propaganda that was manufactured by Russians. That woman was used by Russians. And may have persuaded undecided people to vote for Trump based on Russian misinformation.

There ya go. That's a classic example of a low information person who is clueless about what's going on. I see this all the time with Facebook and seniors posting troll crap. CNN just gave you a classic example of poor seniors that had been duped by trolls. I've run into this same denial by my senior friends that voted for Trump. They're confused and believe only what they want to believe. The fact that the alt right has to lie and spin this into something that it isn't is despicable. So is allowing this Russian troll crap to continue in our social media.

Apparently CNN doxed her also -- giving out her full name and address. Even some Liberal journalists are appalled and hoping she doesn't get hurt or abused by drive byes.
Is it legal to fox someone?

Really? (bolded)
Then why didn't they also show any anti Trump supporters who were also duped by the Russians?
There were anti Trump rallies organized also by these trolls, but no coverage on that by CNN or how Michael Moore and Joy Reid were similarly duped.

They interviewed two people -- probably the first two that agreed to talk on camera.

Are you all bothered that mainly conservative voters were duped or are you bothered that we know that mainly conservative voters were duped?

Have they admitted that they were tricked or do they even care. After all, it's pretty common for them to attend rallies with people waving communists flags.
