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

[DOTR]

She has blamed her staff, alt right, racists, misogynists, the FBI, Bill Clinton, women voters...and now it is the Russians fault?

 

[tinydancer]

Merkel is trying this fake news shit out too. It's so funny. It's not that Merkel might lose because she allowed millions of migrants to storm the EU and Germany.

It's not that Hillary was proven to have sabotaged Sanders. It's not that Clinton and the alphabet networks worked together to try to take out the various Republicans working in the primaries. And Trump in the debates.

And Hillary sending out her lying Miss Piggy, sending out the fake news of the fake rape of a 13 year old, spreading the fake news that Trump felt up a woman on a plane, or all the other FAKE news.



Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Eeeeeeeeets the Ruskies. Eeeets Boris Badenov!

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?

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.

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 must be a foreigner. No it does not take the majority of the country. It's happened five times.

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.

Odd, you stated earlier your little pie chart was about the EV


OTHERS received NO EVs you must be referring to POPULAR vote.

POPULAR vote puts no one in the WH, unless they also received the majority of the ELECTORAL vote.

(is there an adult nearby to explain this to you?)

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

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

BTW,

The more it goes on, the more that 46.5 number goes down.

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

are you trying to claim that Trump only received 46.5% of the Electoral Vote?

If so, why is he president-elect?

Do these numbers have something to do with the election?

Trump was right about the election being "rigged" - against Hillary!

NEWSFLASH!!! she was a crony Insider running in an outsider election cycle you Dummy Lakhota

POPULAR (even in lower case) --- is what you have to mean by "the majority of the country".
The "majority of the country" is not part of the Electrical College.

You got busted. OWN it.

And *NO*, it is NOT necessary to win the PV in order to win the EC. See 2000, 1888, 1876 and 1824. But it *IS* necessary to win the popular vote to have a "majority of the country". That requires over 50%.

So you're wrong --- a "majority of the country" *DID NOT* want Rump. By any math known, even if you use Base 16.4.

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.

And so were we.

Not directly. They have to do with fake news. Which I just took down. No word on how many rubles he was paid but I'd say they have a right to stiff him, since it didn't work.

Your life will really suck under POTUS Trump.....

It is not even necessary to win the popular vote to win the presidency. If you forget that remind yourself by saying "President Elect Trump" aloud.

 

[DOTR]

The Washington Post has been hammering that "fake news" propaganda for their followers to repeat for a solid week now. Want to see how it works when brainless liberals get their marching orders? Watch this and try to feel pity rather than revulsion.

Well played brother....well played.....

For a while it was "the blue wall".

 

[JimH52]

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

Maybe His Holiness Trump will shut them down?

The only slightly less nasty than Hillary Wasserman and her talking points.

Better just,to BK them from lack of access.....perhaps then they can excell at being the tabloid they strive to be....

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

Follow through with your rhetoric and make the connection.
