How exactly did they show this?
- rgrs 6y agoJohn oliver, Hasan Minaj,Jimmy Kimmel etc told Russian campaign influenced voters through misformation. As someone who is not american, these youtube shows are our news about US. Whether these shows are misinformed? Honestly I don't know.
- ryanlol 6y agoThe Russian campaign has been widely discussed, yes. Little has been done to establish whether it actually worked. The mere existence of such a campaign does not suggest that it actually impacted election results.
- contravariant 6y agoNow I'm somewhat curious whether you don't consider misinformation to have played a role in those elections or whether you don't consider the U.S. an example of western education.
- ryanlol 6y agoShow some evidence that the misinformation actually had a significant effect. I know it’s been widely discussed, but I haven’t seen any significant efforts to quantify the impact.
