The officials say Russia intends to use social media to manipulate US public opinion in favor of Trump
No shit?
Of course Russia wants Trump - he’s a cowering wretch who’s only barely managed to stop short of publicly falling to his knees and licking Putin’s shoes.
Yeah, he may not have licked his shoes yet, but he’s been gargling Putin’s balls for at least 7 years now.
Hang on you don’t know what happened to that meeting that he had with pootie poo and himself only…
At this point, it’s becoming a cute underdog story. Poor Russia is still losing a war they thought would be over in three days two and a half years ago. Now, they’re breaking out the Facebook and Twitter bots to take over the election like it’s still 2016.
Keep flexing as though you’re still a “superpower,” little buddy. In a few years, we’ll be nostalgic for when you were a real adversary. Again.
you and I may laugh but they still have a majority of the gop by the balls.
As much as it is very funny, it’s still a threat that should be taken seriously.
Stay vigilant, lads. Be watchful for any bots trying to throw a wrench into the works.
Have you watched the movie Network (1976)? I feel like Russia is in the position of “the Arabs” right now (and I don’t say more in case you haven’t watched it).
Fantastic movie, but I watched it so long ago I barely remember it.
This is public knowledge and has been tracked for years, if you follow an outlandish article to its source, and the source before that, you end up on one of thousands of normal sounding small town news websites that just happen to be registered to people with very Russian sounding names.
The goal is to spit out a somewhat believable lie, then wait for it to be posted about on some blog, then someone else copies it from there and posts it elsewhere, then the gossip mags pick it up and before long it is “news”.

Wait Fox News is reporting this? WTF. Did they just change stance?
I can only imagine this is intended to improve the perception of Russia among their audience.
Honestly, Fox have been putting distance between themselves and Trump for a little while.
They can see he’s nuts and also that Team trump means risking jail time.
Add to the fact that the election is now a toss up, and being seen as not R enough for Trump is a lesser evil than getting dragged through the courts on treason charges.
Doesn’t mean that they’ve changed their heart, just that the rats know when to abandon ship.
the writings on the wall. Trump has never faced an opponent like Harris. even the cucks in the media can see it. rats jumping to pretend to be behind the winning side
They probably spun (or will spin) it to mean that the “crooked Joe Biden’s” administration will persecute Trump at all costs and “invalidate his future win”

And so is Elon Musk. Coincidence?
Just like last year. And the year before that. And the year before that.
Someone get JD I wanna talk about surprised Pikachu.
The media-bias bot is conveniently missing for this Fox News article…
Do you think that’s really necessary? We all know they’re an entertainment company.
Daily reminder.
There is nothing that putin’s deranged government could do or say to get me to vote for fat donnie or any republican, ever.
Does the United States meddle in other nation’s elections? If they do, well then this is all just fair play. Whatever evens the scale.
If they don’t? lol let’s be serious.
