I'd be interested in these findings. I wonder how honestly they've presented them.
Like I pointed out prior, I reviewed all the "Russian Propaganda" advertisements from Facebook and categorized them by who they supported ( a site was kind enough to compile the list). It was almost a 50-50 split between support and anti-support for Trump and Hillary with almost overwhelming support of Bernie Sanders.
So unless the report shows that almost half of those Russian propaganda advertisements were also anti-Trump, it can be immediately thrown out as Democratic Party anti-Trump propaganda. It would be a dishonest representation of the facts. AKA, an outright lie.
That's if you buy into that mode of valuing life, Noah Harari gives a good, albeit simplistic and derivative explanation as to why it's rather silly in Sapiens. Worth reading tbh.
Yep. The same report being referenced also makes mention of the Russians pushing pro Bernie propaganda. As well as some pro Jill Stein stuff too.

Just the natural stages for these people, before it was "Russia didn't interfere at all, it’s all a Dem lie due to butthurt Clinton supporters"; now that the Russia interference is [mostly] accepted, many of those same people switch to “but it had no effect! So who cares!". I imagine if we had some way of giving an absolute level of affect and it was high, they'd switch to "who cares, we do it too!".
Reality, it clearly had an some effect as these same people where some of the hardest to froth at the mouth over these fake news stories both anti-Clinton and pro-Trump. Though I doubt we'll ever know the exact extent.
We live in a world where social media unfortunately shapes the world around us in part.

Not sure if it will make a difference, but it's nice to see these guys get involved.

Ah but you forget the fact that he's doing something conservatives support cancels out any protected status he might have held as a gay man.

"On December 1, an 11-year-old boy dressed in drag danced on stage in a sexual manner at a gay bar in Brooklyn, NY, called 3 Dollar Bill. The child, Desmond Napoles, was dressed as a Gwen Stefani-lookalike — full drag make up, a blonde wig, and crop top included — as he bounced around onstage to No Doubt's "Like a Girl" and collected dollar bills from male adults viewing the number."
Lol, so is this one of those things we aren't allowed to say is disturbing and weird?

It sounds like it should be something you find on "The Onion" as opposed to being an actual news story.

Like I said, if you wish to make progress in this debate with conservatives, you must communicate in ways that they are willing to discuss.
"I feel that this illegal immigrant is valuable" is not going to get you anywhere. That won't get you anywhere with a significant portion of American Liberals, as well.
"A properly accounted for and managed immigration system increases tax revenue and improves GDP" will get you very far with multiple parties, however.
Yep, I just don't think russian social media activity is something we should be super worried over. This doesn't mean it's okay.

Though I'm not exactly sure what his views are that you take issue with...the suggestion that his reach makes him a problem is more grounded in reality then trying to place him anywhere near Farrakhan.
Though look at his popularity in context...his show is #1, but we're talking like 2-3 million viewers out of over 330 million americans.
