Russian disinformation may have had no meaningful effect upon the outcome of the 2016 election, but Russian hacking of the DNC and other Democratic operatives lent credence to the allegation that that Hilary Clinton ran a "pay to play" operation out of the Clinton Foundation, while serving as Secretary of State. Post-election polling suggests that disaffected Democratic voters abandoned Hilary Clinton for this and other reasons, and they were decisive to her loss. Accordingly, Russian information gained illegally (as opposed to disinformation) may well have played a significant role in the outcome of the 2016 election, thus, supporting the allegation that Russian interference was effective.
Russia Gate may not have influenced the 2016 election but it did without a doubt influence the elections in favor of the Democrats in 2018 and 2020.
How many Democrat idiots still believe Russiagate is real? It's as if they were brainwashed morons. lols now that isn't made up
Most people don't vote for any candidates. They vote against the other party. The parties have carefully crafted this paradigm. If people voted for candidates, Democrats and Republicans would be last, not first and second.
This is the first I'm hearing that Khive is paid. It certainly helps explain the alarm some leftists have been expressing about it.
You mean russiagate was a hoax? But how?? ABC , cnn , and nbc said it was real.
All of our problems can be traced back to Russia, especially homelessness and crime. 🤡
Clinton wishes that her loss was due to any factor except her own lack of appeal to voters.
Robby's hair is turning into a living creature!
ROBBIE, now complete the report, the left focused on Russia because consultants told Hillary in her pre-Run that Russia was her weakest link from the Publix’s perception,…said differently, accuse others what you do yourself, Hillary and Uranium One = turned into RussiaGate to get the bright light off her and onto Trump.
I always found it wild that they think if you see a meme or hear "misinformation" you somehow automatically get hypnotized and the mere exposure to it trapped your mind. I know they didn't teach us this in school but it's called critical thinking 😂.
Funny how the Liberals, MSM media, and the Federal Law Enforcement are all guilty of doing what they have been accusing Trump, his base, and Putin of doing. These past few years have proved to be a great example of projection.
As non twitter user, the only time I hear how important twitter is, are news stories saying how important it is. How I've made it this far in life without twitter is something of a miracle.
Good radar Robby. Thumbs up from this leftist.
Robbi's toupee is distracting
Robbie: a new study shows that Joe Namath didn't single handedly win the 1969 Super Bowl. This COMPLETELY REFUTES NAMATHGATE.
"main stream and liberal media" isn't that being redundant ?
Отличная работа
BJG: 3% of Americans are on Twitter
Pew: 23% of Americans are on Twitter
Maybe the hosts should prepare, and Rising should have fact checking.
Who did more in the past decade to impact elections through the dissemination of misinformation than mainstream Dems?
Ridiculous like calling everyone is a racists.
Why aren't these Democrats called the original election deniers? The lefts favorite boogy man is Putin!
Hail Putin, great warlord. Robby loves u!
What about facebook, Google etc….. Why were they. Not Studied as a whole. Oh yeah, that may not go with Adolph's narrative.
Anyone remember when the government's misinformation board had to be dissolved because the person in charge of it basically said she didn't know how to handle misinformation? Good times
Everyone who pushed the Russiagate nonsense was an 'election denier', 'challenging the integrity of the election', etc. Now these hypocrites toss around the term 'election deniers' against others.
Russian Gate < Progressive bias worth hundreds of millions, FBI meddling in the election, mail in ballot with dirty voter rolls, ballot harvesting, "non profits" that work to improve democrat turnout (zuckerberg), big tech suppression/shadow banning/censorship.
FACT
Very good Rising…rare….
This isn't news to any of us on here. Unfortunately Corporate Media won't cover this and the brainwashed don't want to hear it anyway.
Progressive types who were enraged about Russiagate don’t want to admit their complicity in greasing the wheels for this Ukraine war.
It’s hilarious how badly these progressives have ended up on the wrong side of history (w Russia, the pandemic, defund the police, etc). Especially considering how their main motivation is to be on the right side of history. It’s too much for them to take accountability so they double-down to infinity.
There is no rescuing MSM's image. It's a Govt tool.
A lot of Republican “leaders” bought into the Russian interference narrative too.
Hillary and the DNC did more to elevate Trump to office than a hundred internet nerds ever did.
By the time the lie is "discovered" the damage is already done.
"Discovered" because the truth has been known since 2016. There were only 150k posts, which is nothing next to the billions of other posts.
We didn't need to do anything but use our brains and retain the ability to speak freely, but we were censored instead. Power corrupts. Power is abused. The answer is to protect the freedoms, rights, and power of the individual so that powerful groups can't simply silence them and must instead engage with them.
Anyone else confused as to why they're only looking at this from a "well I guess this disproves the narrative" perspective, but don't then address the obvious counterpoint to that, which is "what narrative does this line up with". You have to ask the question, if this information was overwhelmingly hitting a single demographic, then you'd have pretty good justification thinking that may be intentional.
If you look at the story as misleading information being purposely fed to a specific republican demographic, it's a far more interesting potential story to ask "to what end?"
Most "conspiracy theorists" knew this was going on 6 years ago…you're a little late to the party🤦♂
And people are supposed to take the news seriously. Washington post covered this 6 years later. Just like Hunters laptop, real reporters could figure this stuff out in a day or 2. Takes them 3 years for that one. I figured it was bogus when they didn't even show the amazing memes they put out that swayed the election. Let alone stats they had to have of the number of views. Or views compared to the rest of the endless political BS memes.
So.. wait, whos the conspiracy theorists now?
Keep in mind…the FBI clearly knew the Russiagate and Russian SNS influence was non existent abd LIED to help the establishment Democrats win.
Bernie Sanders was a worse Russiagater than anyone except Adam Schiff.
The "Russian foreign influence campaign" was a clickbait troll farm in St. Petersburg, Russia that bought $100 k in Facebook add space (according to the Mueller Report) to try to generate revenue (which is what a clickbait operation does) from click on their adds. Most of the content had nothing to do with the 2016 election. Some of it was even pro Hillary. This is the 'far reaching, widespread Kremlin operation' that swung the election to Trump?
Hmm… How CNN feel about this? 🤣
You need to grasp the concept that everything GOV and MSM told you for a decade+ was a lie. And it wasn't even for your own good. Not noble at all.
