Experts: Russia spread fake news via paid trolls and automated bots (Washington Post)

[Pogo]

The washington post (lower case intended) has some big stones accusing someone else of spreading fake news.

Do go on..........?

Hillary didn't win.....true story.....

Yes, she lost, but she got millions of more votes by the voters. The majority of citizens who voted wanted her to be President.

That's not even true--even with all the Dem cheating. All the Dems are complaining that black turnout was low and that's why Hillary lost. But remember on election night when increasingly frantic talking heads were grasping at those sudden "huge numbers coming in from North Philly", etc. I won't wait for those (((skunks))) at the Washington Post to investigate.

Sure it is true. The count is still going on and she is currently about two million votes in the lead.

Let us know what the consolation prize is.....

No mandate and justification to halt and sabotage, gridlock and prevent Trump proposals and policies. Also, a warning to Republicans that their victory is shallow and not guaranteed to produce future success.

Pretty resounding mandate actually.....even you are impressed.....we know....

Experts say that the Russian government engaged in the dissemination of fake news aimed at promoting Donald Trump's candidacy and hurting Hillary Clinton's:

The speed and coordination of these efforts allowed Russian-backed phony news to outcompete traditional news organizations for audience. Some of the first and most alarming tweets after Clinton fell ill at a Sept. 11 memorial event in New York, for example, came from Russian botnets and trolls, researchers found. (She was treated for pneumonia and returned to the campaign trail a few days later.)


This followed a spate of other misleading stories in August about Clinton’s supposedly troubled health. The Daily Beast debunked a particularly widely read piece in an article that reached 1,700 Facebook accounts and was read online more than 30,000 times. But the PropOrNot researchers found that the version supported by Russian propaganda reached 90,000 Facebook accounts and was read more than 8 million times. The researchers said the true Daily Beast story was like “shouting into a hurricane” of false stories supported by the Russians.

Russian propaganda effort helped spread ‘fake news’ during election, experts say

Whatever did we do without experts who work for the Democrats.

You mean she's a loser....

No, it means with dumb asses like you the Russians were able to make Americans the losers.

Hillary didn't win.....true story.....

Yes, she lost, but she got millions of more votes by the voters. The majority of citizens who voted wanted her to be President.

The majority of the country wanted Trump.

That's false. Stop making things up. Land doesn't vote

The people on that land do.

Exactly. And the people on those lands who voted for Hillary were more than the people in those lands who voted for Trump.

Trump took 30 states, Hillary took 20 states and D.C..

Trump took a MAJORITY of Electoral votes, which is what puts someone in the Oval Office.

Whine all you want, but that's the way this country is run

By falsely stating these experts work for Democrats, you spread fake news.

Fake news was everywhere...even up to 7PM election night

I did not realize that 46% constitutes a "majority". Ya learn sump'm here every day.

Is your little pie chart popular vote, or electoral vote?

Which one decides the presidency?

This is the problem... The idiots believe the Russians over Americans... It is plain and simple, they rather be traitors than loose...

No,we dont believe wapo.

 

[Dale Smith]

The lame stream media has been exposed for the fraud that it is........

Do you stupid pro-Hitlery fucks even know a damn thing about the Smith Mundt Act of 1948 that Barrypuppet had repealed quietly? It's now LEGAL for your beloved "gubermint" to lie and spew propaganda by any means necessary. They have lost all credibility and the number of people paying attention to them is at an all time low.....

 

[koshergrl]

So the Russians work for democrats now....go figure....

You make no sense. The article argues the opposite.

Which means the.opposite is true.

Please find establishment media that supported Trump, and advise us of the specific lies that were told.

That's popular. Because your words were, and I quote, "The majority of the country wanted Trump".

Whelp --- no they clearly did not.
And the "majority of the country" in no way equates to the Eclectical College. Nice try at moving the goalposts, but transparent as a pane of glass.
