Advertisements

They work both sides of the aisle so they can gain influence regardless of who wins. That's why you get Manafort on one side, and the Podesta Brothers on the other side.

Nothing new here. Team Swamp chooses to highlight the one side that is opposed to them while they engage in the same activities in the dark.

Guys, the vast bulk of the Russian propaganda campaign was fake accounts, not advertisement. They spent tens of thousands on ads, and hundreds of millions on fake accounts.

I think they were speaking to the reach and influence of FB in general, as evidenced by the levels of paid advertising.

Trump handed Russia the Kurds and Syria, the Chinese soybean market, and classified intelligence.

Hard to argue that he did this out of the goodness of his heart.

True, there were fake families and other actors criticizing Clinton or supporting Trump on Facebook. I was just responding to the poster that indicated he wasn't influenced by advertising. The point is many are influenced by social media either through advertising or opinions from unknown bloggers that confirm their opinion.
