New reports claim Russia engaged in a coordinated effort to influence the US Election.
They used fake news stories, network bots, and paid trolls to so spread doubts about
Clinton and undermine faith in the US Government.

"The campaign reportedly included the use of thousands of botnets, a network of websites and social media accounts, and a team of people paid to push conspiracy theories online. Some of the most common propaganda stories claimed that Hillary Clinton’s health was declining"

 

Why, I think we might even have some paid trolls right here on the forum!

So the evil progressives don't like to be treated like they treat others......?   Do you fail to see the depth of corruption in the democrats, the dnc, and their collusion with the main stream media and corporations (google, facebook, yahoo...) that hid articles and commentary unfavorable to Clinton and pushed articles to the top that were against Trump....?   And Trump still won the election in spite of all this liberal fascism directed at him and anyone who supported him.   Stop whining and get over it, you lost "HUGELY" and it's gonna sting for a long time until you liberals learn your lesson from this one....  I think you are still in the "denial" stage Vinny......  Maybe just entering "anger"...?   Chris

 

The five stages, denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance are a part of the framework that makes up our learning to live with the election we lost.

From that same report:

"Some players in this online echo chamber were knowingly part of the propaganda campaign, the researchers concluded, while others were “useful idiots” — a term born of the Cold War to describe people or institutions that unknowingly assisted Soviet Union propaganda efforts."

Yes, I agree.   Describes perfectly the liberal democrats, progressives, the dnc, and the MSM in this country for the last 30 years.   Well done Vinny, you're coming around slowly.   Chris

The NYT and Obama's administration would disagree. http://www.nytimes.c...trump.html?_r=0

Y'all need to settle down and dial down the hyperbole. The Republic will survive. After all, it survived Carter and Obama. Nuf said.
