The minimization of Russian influence on our elections by the Young Turks has been rather interesting, with journalists like Michael Tracey who pooh-poohs the impact of Russian interference in our elections. He decided to troll a bunch of protestors to trick them into downplaying Russia’s impact, but got completely owned by a woman who was far much more knowledgeable than he was.
The video of this is a MUST-SEE for anyone fighting back against Russia’s continued interference into our elections, as actually confirmed today in a live Senate intelligence hearing.
I’d tell journalists like Michael Tracey, Cenk Uygur, and others on the far left to actually watch the Senate hearings that just happened today that confirmed that Russian active measures are still going on:
The facts we know so far are this:
- Russia did use fake bots to amplify anti-Clinton stories at both Trump and Bernie supporters
- Russia used fake stories and planted them on fake news websites such as those in Macedonia
- Russia is continuing to use active measures against the United States, and may continue doing so leading up to the 2018 and 2020 elections to ensure Trump’s electoral dominance
It does us no favors at all when Russian interference into our elections is ignored or minimized by those on the far left because the people they serve need to know that they may be the target of continued active measures.
