“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.

“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...

Indeed.

The Democrats you speak of were heavily influenced and inspired by the Soviet Union.

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

But dividing Americans wasn't the Russians it was the CIA (Operation Mockingbird) starting in the 1950s.

I feel like I have been saying as much about Russia for the past few months that I have been on this boards. (I returned from living in Russia just before the election.)

Despite its glamorous 21st Century facades, Russian society is as insecure as ever, and experiencing a throwback to some of the worst elements of their Soviet and imperial past...or, it can be argued they never truly broke from the Soviet past: just had a costume change. Putin, at the end of the day, is former KGB. As are many of the leaders of the Russian Orthodox Church for that matter. (For those Americans deceived into buying the false “Russia is more Christian than we are” propaganda.)

America, despite all our seeming chaos - is actually quite stronger than we may realize...in fact the fact that our debates are as alive and forceful as they are attest to the vitality of freedom and our founding principles...I missed it while abroad. I was happy to join in the chaos and experience the miracle of Trump’s victory - knowing that such an event can rarely be experienced elsewhere. Where there are no real elections, real freedoms...

CNN and MSNBC will never have respect from critical thinking Americans. Good riddance to these clowns and all the other idiots who mirror their fake lies.
Prime time Fox News is #1 and the Soros/Clinton/BLM Left are desperate to destroy those who lead, consevatively. Winning has never felt so good!

“The main goal of the Russian propaganda and misinformation effort is to divide America..."

The current generation of Russian propagandists didn't divide us. Their grandfathers did, when they infiltrated Communist ideals into this country.
