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

[DOTR]

Russian News outlets were essentially much more reliable than American ones in this last election.

 

[Care4all]

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

Thank you! Just more proof that Hillary was cheated.

You mean she's a loser....

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

they are all over this board, spreading the same propaganda...

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.

They had a weird sense of humour about showing it then.

(Rump's in blue here)
​

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?

That's electoral. 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.

30 states, out of 50

306 electoral votes, 36 more than necessary...

and that's not a majority?

Maybe I should have taken Liberal Math in school?

 

[koshergrl]

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

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

You know your loyal democrat mega funder George Soros is a Nazi?

They know and they don't mind a bit.

And I'll quote here the late Leon Russell -- "Ever hear the term FUCK YOU?"

It's what the fuck the poster actually wrote, Dipweed. Then he tried to weasel-word it into another direction and I called him on it.

You don't like it? Tough titty.

Maybe you should have taken ANY math because it's been one fuck of a long time since the number 306 represented, again quoting your words -- "a majority of the country".

And 46% isn't even a majority of voters.

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

Actually land does vote. Each state casts a vote for president. Trump it is!

306 is the majority of the EV, and it generally takes the majority of the country to get that many.

Looks like I'm not the one having problems with math.

You're a wonder, woman

keep spinning

You must be a foreigner living under a rock. No it does not take the majority of the country. It's happened five times the other way

Here's your math:
Clinton/Kaine..............64,418,125 48.1%

Rump/Pence...............62,314,184 46.5%

Others (yellow)..............7,168,364

Let me know if and when any part of this starts to sink in.

Oh and that count is still going on. The more it goes on, the more that 46.5 number goes down.
