“Facebook vice president of advertising Rob Goldman slammed the media for what he said was misleading coverage of Russia’s meddling in American politics. “

“Most of the coverage of Russian meddling involves their attempt to effect the outcome of the 2016 US election. I have seen all of the Russian ads and I can say very definitively that swaying the election was *NOT* the main goal,” Goldman said.

From the article:

“The main goal of the Russian propaganda and misinformation effort is to divide America by using our institutions, like free speech and social media, against us. It has stoked fear and hatred amongst Americans. It is working incredibly well. We are quite divided as a nation.”

____________

And the main goal of the MEDIA in this nation has been to destroy Trump and the electoral process.

Sounds like FB should do right by America and shut down

They are as much to blame for the divisions in the country as anybody, by giving the insane haters a platform and recruiting venue

Not to mention, that any conservative or religious group that wants to promote its message gets shut down.

I’m no lover of Facebook but you’ll have to admit they’re heads and shoulders above the mainstream media by making this statement. He’s an ad salesman, Russians bought ads to create chaos. If FB didn’t exist, the Russians would have just used different methods, as they have done since 1917 when the Russian tsar was overthrown.

Let me know when the President of NBC comes out and publicly admits his organizations role.

Fake news is dead. Long live fake news.

They’re so desperate to get rid of Trump its now clutching at straws time.

Never mind Friday’s indictments had nothing to do with Trump.

I think you’re right. They are so far over the top. It’s surreal.

It’s more open and mean now, but we’ve been divided for an awfully long time. Not only the Russians have exacerbated the situation. So, too, has the media, many elected officials, the plethora of “special interest” groups. It’s not a pretty sight.

If there were one incident in relatively recent memory that flamed the divisions, it would be IMHO the late Sen. Kennedy’s attack on the late, then-Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork. Not everyone has his name made into a verb to describe vicious attacks that seek to destroy the person and his reputation.

those seeking to disrupt the unity of America have played the people like a fiddle and all are dancing to their own tune.

“The main goal of the Russian propaganda and misinformation effort is to divide America by using our institutions, like free speech and social media, against us. It has stoked fear and hatred amongst Americans. It is working incredibly well. We are quite divided as a nation.”

Remove the word “Russian” from the above sentence and it would also accurately describe the behavior of the ENTIRE “mainstream” (ie leftist) media in the USA over the past year and a half...

But dividing America wasn’t the Russians it was the democrats, starting in the 1960’s.
