YouTube videos of police beatings on American streets. A widely circulated internet hoax about Muslim men in Michigan collecting welfare for multiple wives. A local news story about two veterans brutally mugged on a freezing winter night.
All of these were recorded, posted or written by Americans. Yet all ended up becoming grist for a network of Facebook pages linked to a shadowy Russian company that has carried out propaganda campaigns for the Kremlin, and which is now believed to be at the center of a far-reaching Russian program to influence the 2016 presidential election.
A New York Times examination of hundreds of those posts shows that one of the most powerful weapons that Russian agents used to reshape American politics was the anger, passion and misinformation that real Americans were broadcasting across social media platforms.

It appears that the NY Times has worked way, way harder at finding Russian propaganda on YouTube than any American voter ever has.
The slimes just doesn’t like that that the Russkies have better propaganda than they do.
DAISYDUKE WAKABAYASHI. What the...!?
So Hillary spent $1 billion on her campaign, but was torpedoed by some Russian Facebook posts?
Logic has no place in regressive fantasy land.
Baka tare !
Russia! Russia! Russia!
They learned from when we were doing it to them.

Why would the Russians want to reshape the U.S. political landscape to something more nationalist and more patriotic? Doesnt serve their interests at all. Progs avoid that inconvenient fact like the plague.
So, the Russians documented the rage of Americans against the status quo and put it on facebook doing the job that the Slimes should be doing.
But, they, the Slimes, live in this Through the Looking Glass world in which reporting [by the Russians] is propaganda and propaganda by the Slimes is reporting.
Ctrl-left knows what business they are actually in. They just borrowed another word for it and think we are confused. Fake news is a good term for it.
Does the NYT mention their previously unpublicized connection to antifa?
There you go using logic, again.
You’d think if the NYT has a connection with antifa—a group whose agenda is to overthrow the United States government—that the American public would be interested in finding out more information about this NYT-antifa connection.

Amazing to see the influence of the supposed $100,000 in Russian FakeBook ads (although the MSM has never shown us the ads). Hillary’s campaign spent upwards of $1B. So $100,000 is 0.01% of that $1B, yet we’re supposed to believe this tipped the election. It amounts to a single snowflake in a blizzard.
Boy, yours was the post of the day, if there ever was one.
Don’t forget Obama and Valjar
