Some electoral interference is of the Two Legs Good variety.
Not one word in print.
Not one second of television coverage.
I’m sure Jake Tapper’s Cuck Club will praise him when he eventually is shamed into putting out a single tweet about it, though.
I guess for the Twitter Obsessives who spend do all of their socializing on Twitter, and who spend all of their free time on Twitter, Twitter Is Real and therefore one tweet counts as “coverage.”
A left-wing billionaire gave $100,000 towards an online misinformation campaign that mimicked Russian interference operations — but if you only get your news from CNN, then you have no idea that happened.Linkedin co-founder Reid Hoffman, an early investor in Facebook, was behind a six-figure misinformation campaign that involved falsely linking Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore to Russian influence operations during Alabama’s December 2017 special election.
Hoffman funded Democratic operatives who staged a “false flag” — in their own words — meant to falsely link Moore’s campaign to Russian bots in order to boost Democratic candidate Doug Jones’ Senate campaign.
…
But CNN’s readers and viewers have been kept in the dark about the domestic misinformation campaign.
Since news broke of the “false flag” operation on Dec. 19, CNN has yet to devote a single story — or even a single second on television –informing its readers of the Democratic misinformation operation, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation search on the cable news aggregation website Grabien.
CNN vice president Barbara Levin did not return a request for comment on her network’s absent coverage on the story.
Read the Daily Caller for more. Hoffman apologized for his role in funding the #AssaultOnOurDemocracy only after FaceBook suspended the operatives who helped carry the scheme out.
Um… isn’t that a campaign finance violation? Or, as with Rosie O’Donnell and other liberals, is this not considered a crime any more?
@Deplorable Me:
demorat campaign finance violation is standard business for the liberals. just look at slut hillary, terrorist obama and all the rest.
@MOS#8541: But they didnt do it with “intent” 😉
@kitt: The only missing intent is the intent to get caught.
This could be the online infrastructure that will suddenly convert to a Russian disinformation operation targeting the 2020 election.
The extent of their Facebook reach is estimated to be 44 million users.
Is anybody minding the store? Probably not. The Trump administration denies Russia meddled in 2016. Trump will do anything he can get away with to win, and half of the country is willing to let him get away with anything.
Wednesday, December 18, 2019 – The Biggest Social Media Operation You’ve Never Heard of Is Run Out of Cyprus by Russians
@Greg: What effect did all the Russian meddling have in 2016? No one can EVER provide any evidence of anything that would change anyone’s mind.
But, I guess that’s what useless excuses are good for, huh?
The basic problem here is some people can’t add 1+1 and come up with 2.
There’s an entirely real possibility that the Russians used a combination of hacked voter registration data, hacked social media user data, and internal campaign polling results to triangulate their disinformation and false news attacks on electoral college leverage points. One of those three items was being passed to the Russians by Paul Manafort. They got the other two themselves. Russian hackers are known to have successfully breached 39 state voter rolls. Add to that the fact that there has never before in history been so great a disparity between the popular election results and the electoral college results. The electoral college outcome turned on as few as 77,744 votes—only 77,744 out of around 138 million votes cast.
Yeah, only a possibility. No one can prove that’s what made the difference, any more than anyone can prove false news and disinformation affected a single voter’s opinion. But the possibility is surely enough to put us on our guard in 2020, and we’re not. The Trump administration won’t acknowledge there’s anything to worry about—unless you want to blame Ukraine, of course, and that’s a story that originated with Russian intelligence.
@Greg: The Russian collusion conspiracy theory has been debunked by Robert Mueller.
https://www.npr.org/2019/03/24/706385781
Mar 24, 2019 · The Mueller Report did not find any evidence of collusion, but did find two main efforts by the Russians to interfere in the 2016 presidential campaign.
that is a lie that you believe

Just stop with your long debunked crap, the truth is being exposed with FISA scandal, Barry and Hillary got busted cold trying to steal the election.
They want to remove Trump from office before the real SHTF.
Heads up none of what is about to happen will be revenge it will be justice.
@kitt: It appears the Russians can only affect the weakest of minds.
@Deplorable Me: If Greg were not such a zombie sheep I would almost feel sorry for him. He becomes more and more like AJ Ward as the investigations reveal how criminal our politicians and the minion bureaucrats are.
@kitt: When you have to defend the indefensible, it’s difficult to differentiate yourself from other zealots.
