Washington (CNN)The FBI monitored social media on Election Day last year in an effort to track a suspected Russian disinformation campaign utilizing "fake news," CNN has learned.
In the months leading up to Election Day, Twitter and Facebook were the feeding grounds for viral "news" stories floating conspiracies and hoaxes, many aimed at spreading negative false claims about Hillary Clinton.
"Are you kidding?" that official recalled saying to others at the White House as they celebrated a successful election. "What they did worked!"

Essentially, despite all the aid from the censors at Twitter, Facebook, etc. bad stuff still managed to circulate about Hillary. Naturally, any bad stuff about Hillary HAD to be fake news, and it must have come from America's enemies.
“CNN has learned”
no need to read any further ...
Yes, because hilLIAR and podesta et al are such fine upstanding citizens, clearly worthy to lead the Nation and keep its secrets
Had to be the Russians . . .who else would be so evil to deny Millennials, feminists and homosexuals their Historic Goddess
lol....remember the 2000 election when idiot voters in Florida didn’t know how to properly fill out the ballots and vote for algore??? remember the media claiming it was the ballots fault and not the idiot voters who filled out the ballots incorrectly???
now its the fault of fake news spread by russians- not the idiots who fell for the fake news...
typical liberals- its always someone elses fault...
Russia was in the polling biz? Who knew?
4 morons from CNN to author another fake news ‘breaking news’? Lol.
> false claims about Hillary Clinton
Like photos of her being hauled up stairs? Nope that’s false. Pay no attention to all her appearances being retrofitted with ramps.
Like she’s not sick? For months she routinely suffered 5 minute coughing fits and MSM said questions about her health are false. That excuse was blown out of the water at the 9/11 Memorial.
The only false claims about Clinton are those made by CNN.
Fake News reporting on Fake News?
Does that make it real news...
...or really Fake News?
Hmmmm, lets see, who would get their news from Facebook? 90% of Bernie Sanders supporters?

Faking nhews
Ya mean- HRC really didn’t have a private server and didn’t really destroy emails? It was all Russian Fake News?
Is that like a double negative?
As opposed to the CNN news that Hillary was winning in a cakewalk?
So, the Obama White House was celebrating on election day?
Even if true (and I certainly don’t concede that)....sooooo what? Facebook isn’t on the public airwaves, and unless I’m grossly mistaken, its a WORLDWIDE platform. I could probably find every opinion under the sun on Facebook...and there’s nothing our should can (or should) do about it.
More CNN FAKE NEWS about imaginary fake news from unspecified but made up fake “sources”. Well, another Friday at CNN.
Troubling isn’t it.
“Russia was in the polling biz? Who knew?”
LOL
Here is the Russian polling business..
