Russians; making the American news media look like fools (regular, Jesus, Pennsylvania)

[Roadking2003]

BTW, the Russians are really bad at this. If they really wanted to influence our elections, they should consult with our CIA since they have been meddling in foreign elections quite successfully for decades.

But the media are fools. Let's look at the facts;

Whoever put that video together is completely missing the point.

It's NOT the amount of money spend, it's the level of participation. Reddit alone found hundreds of Russian trolls on their site. Those hundreds of trolls made hundreds of thousands of posts and effective hijacked the forum's narrative.

The video cited a Satan arm wrestling Jesus pic with less than 100 views. But what you guys don't know is that the pic is shared across sites like Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, etc; and it easily generated thousands of views on those platforms.

Looking at the original source is a misdirection. It's meant to fool people like the OP into thinking it got very few views. When it's the sharing on social media platform that was the big money maker, so to speak.

There is no evidence anywhere that the Russians changed one vote. None.

But there is mountains of evidence that the USA has been influencing elections around the globe for decades.

There is also no evidence that Jesus is the son of God.

Lack of evidence does not mean absence of evidence.

Yep, and I think we all have our suspicions about who they are. When you see endless threads about things like the subject of this thread, the flags go up.

Thanks for continuing to point out what should be, but clearly isn't, obvious.

Yes, indeed.

Endless posts about about no evidence that the Russian disinformation campaign changed one vote.

Often posted by those who are regularly post on issues promoted by the Russian influence campaign on Twitter.

Including their own, hence the shock when Hillary lost Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, etc.

Very predictable.
