U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee Report Details Russia's Use Of Social Media During The U.S. Election



Washington Examiner: Russian election-meddling used YouTube, Instagram, more than previously thought, Senate Intel report says

A comprehensive study compiled for the Senate describing, with new details, Russian efforts to support President Trump's 2016 campaign and administration is set to be released this week.

The report was conducted by Oxford University’s Computational Propaganda Project and network analysis firm Graphika. It's based on data from 2009 to 2017 that was provided to the Senate and House Intelligence committees, The Washington Post reported Sunday. The report offers insight into the use of social media platforms that have received little congressional attention so far, such as YouTube, Instagram, Google+, Tumblr, and Pinterest. It also looks at email accounts run by Google's Gmail, Yahoo, and Microsoft's Hotmail.

Russian misinformation. Hmmm. Was it the dim-o-crats and their worshipping media that were paid in rubles?

I've often wondered what this meddling looks like. Admittedly, not being signed up with the mentioned sites does leave me clueless and deprived concerning the kardashian's and miss nancey's new coat but, I've got WNU so I get the important stuff.

How's that for a plug, eh boss?

The report was undoubtedly written to justify a conclusion that was already reached long before.

Of course it's meant to be exposed to support the Trump Russia collusion disinformation campaign.

If HRC is not investigated, then it's not the whole election, not the losing half.

Putin's candidate lost.

Well if that's the case, Russians must have been hard at work inside the Obama campaign/admin starting about 2008. Obama's statements, actions and the people he surrounded himself with throughout his terms was a case study in division. Racial identity politics was in full force the whole time. Then came the grievance mongers Holder, Michelle O, any number of media orgs and Obama himself - who described his own grandmother as a "typical white person".

Holder stated we were "A nation of racial cowards". Michelle O stated that "The first time I've ever been proud of my country" was when Barack got elected.

Anyone who gets their news from tranzi-tech media has every single template from their tranzi-university classes confirmed.... in their own mind. When you start off not knowing the difference between fact and fiction, then get swooped up in crazy Russian troll yarns, you're at a large deficit.

And the "victims" of Russian trolling on facebook have been agitated well prior to any Russian trolling on facebook.

Yep. The head of the most transparent admin in US history was quite the thing. Never have I experienced such divisive words come from a president's mouth. Never.

Not that I considered him presidential.

You got it R.
