> "Russian propagandists", is a partisan issue
It's not. No party in the U.S., or in any country, supports propaganda from foreign powers, and there's not much debate whether it exists; evidence of their activities is deep and wide. The Russians wish it was partisan.
There may be debate over which things on the Internet are the products of Russian propaganda, but that's the nature of effective propaganda - only the crappy stuff is obvious, and the effective propagandists want everyone arguing with each other.

- kodablah 8y agoThe (partisan) debate is whether it matters or has/had any meaningful influence, especially compared to the societal costs that come out of any attempt to "fix" the problem. They are the new terrorists, druggies, communists, insert-generational-bad-guy-to-legislate-against-here, etc.
