Americans cannot be this callous and stupid.

Yes. We. Can

I'm the guy laughing at everyone for swallowing fake news whole. When Paul Krugman was retweeted 250k times for saying that Jill Stein cost Hillary Florida (100 percent false) was that fake news?

Also: The media blacklist of fake news includes progressive outlets. The cure is always worse than the disease in these panics.

Excellent question.

My thought as well.

I don't think the Russian Troll Army is here. They are deployed in the Washington Post comments section, however. Any story about Russia in the Post is guaranteed a visit by the RTA.

I think WaPo is doing a huge disservice to the public by not moderating the comments section.

Yup, this is thinly sourced nonsense, complete with "experts say"! Look up the list of 'fake news'/Russian propaganda sites: it's full of American-run independent sites (e.g. blackagendareport.com). And RT is such a bit player it is just hilarious to mention it. HRC and co. are proving what many of us have known for a while: they are basically mid-century, mid-western Republicans complete with their Calvinism and their Red Scares. LOL!

Russian.

At the time he tweeted that the night of the election it appeared to be true. Good job focusing on the irrelevant and diverting attention away from the fake news that affected the election.

The fake news that cost the election was all the reports that Hillary would win easily.

I think it's more sinister then that. Plant a bunch of stories with complicit media re: Russians hacking election, fake news, etc., fund a recount using Jill Stein as bait, then do a 'recount' finding the magic number of votes in each of the three states (not too many mind you, just enough) and voila, install Clinton. That's the ultimate goal - to get Clinton in office. We've already seen how horribly in the pocket the media is re: Clinton and how utterly corrupt the Clinton Foundation is run. How the DNC cheated Bernie and how they put violent democrat plants into Trump rallies. How they bragged about cheating at the ballot box themselves.

The Russians aren't the issue here....

Some professor put together a list of fake news sites. Plenty on both sides..lots is "Occuoy Democrats", "Being Liberals" and others like Kos in there as well. The right had its share too, but if you think it's "Russians" doing it you're being stupid and naive

They absolutely were prior to the election. Weird misspellings, idioms misused or incorrect. The kind of logic fails that reveal themselves in language discrepancies, etc. You couldn't pick them all out, but some were really bad.

I posted this thread on this before but why is everyone so butthurt over this? This is par for course for a great power with an active and outward looking intelligence service.

Do you think CIA SAD political officers just sit with their thumbs in their asses all day. What do you think we did in latin american in the 70s and 80s?
