Exclusive: Russian operation masqueraded as right-wing news site to target U.S. voters

I've never heard of it either so I did a search and found this image on the home page right now for an article titled; Ethnocidal ‘Critical Race Theory’ Is Upon Us Like White On Rice

Kinda comical, slightly scary

While it seems clear that Russian efforts are directed at playing on the divisions within the U.S. polity, to nourish the divisions, it is also clear to any one that looks at all the data, that the Russian efforts amount to no more than a fly on an elephant, with the elephant being (a) the political, social and news outreach of the two major parties, (b) the campaigns of the two parties presidential nominees, (c) the campaigns of the all the hundreds of PACS, (d) the clear divisive activity of all the U.S. media, (e) the billions of individual social media efforts by millions of individuals Americans who never see anything the Russians are doing. The sum of all all Americans are doing so dwarfs the Russian media and social media efforts that it is silly to call the Russian efforts material factors in any election, no matter what are the Russian intentions.

BUT, where the Russian efforts WERE effective was in using Billary, Inc. the DNC, the Obama administration and the Democratic party, in turning their hatred of Trump and efforts against him into a vehicle for Russian disinformation. What did Putin achieve? Was it electing Trump? No. It was the success of contributing to the Dims keeping the Trump administration embroiled in “impeachment” hoaxes for two years.
