I always wondered about some of the "posters" on various forum who have 30,000 or 50,000 posts. All hours of every day and every night on the same forums. Russian bots have been detected and exposed as going on threads and demanding proof, sources, & evidence on anything factual, to muddy the waters of reality. It's one of their most effective tactics and putin/Moscow couldn't be more pleased.

Why would asking for proof/sources be considered a negative?

Indeed, before the Russian bots, nobody ever demanded proof, sources & evidence.

We all just KNOW what is "factual" because we read it on any number of super-reliable news sites, such as Huffpost, Occupy Democrats or the Daily Kos.

Because they have equal access to google to look it up. Or Snopes. Of PolitiFact.

What they are doing is a deflection attempt and it's bogus. It's disingenuous.
