In your comment you summarize illegal Russian interference in the election (via political advertising), while simultaneously asserting that Russian interference is a false narrative.
I won't accuse you of being a shill, because I'm familiar with Hanlon's razor.
- rdtsc 9y agoI was asserting that Russians are interfering with elections in many countries, including ours. But the story that it had any significant impact on the election is a false narrative. Unless they somehow hacked Hillary's agenda so she never landed in Wisconsin and so that she never addressed the concerned of the workers from the Rustbelt states.
- heartbreak 9y ago> I was asserting that Russians are interfering with elections in many countries You did not make that assertion anywhere in the linked comment.
- rdtsc 9y agoIt was in the same conversation thread: --- > It's a modus-operandi of the Russian intelligence apparatus I believe that. KGB has been doing that since it was formed. Technically they might not have been sophisticated but they were good at planting stories and spinning narratives. I remember the "US govt created AIDS to kill all the black people" fake news. --- Just below it
