Hamilton 68, a digital “dashboard” that claimed to track Russian influence and was the source of hundreds if not thousands of mainstream print and TV news stories in the Trump years.

A crowd of Lefties and neoclowns who were censoring people based on their conservative views, pretending that they were "Russian bots".

You see this on FR, too.

These people basically had pro-Trump Twitter accounts banned claiming they were Russian bots.

The ASD advisory council includes neoconservative writer Bill Kristol, former Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul, ex-Hillary for America chief John Podesta, and former heads or deputy heads of the CIA, NSA, and the Department of Homeland Security.

It appears many of these types have landed here on FR to push Zelenskyy and this god awful war

Mikey McFaul is one greasy piece of neocon Twitter Mitt.

He is. Their ideas can’t stand up to the truth on a free and open platform like FR. We’re lucky we have this place. It’s fun shining the light on these piggies.

This is how they shut down free speech; the Left claimed American citizens were Russian bots

It was a scam. Instead of tracking how “Russia” influenced American attitudes, Hamilton 68 simply collected a handful of mostly real, mostly American accounts, and described their organic conversations as Russian scheming.

I just finished reading that entire thread. These people need to be arrested! Every damn thing the leftist news media prints is totally fake and is usually them accusing conservatives of things they themselves are doing. Talking about fake news at its best! Hamilton68 Project was being quoted as an authority on Russian bots, when it was they were promulgating fake information.
