Understand. You prefer to ignore things that are uncomfortable for you. The fact that you are pretending ignorance, despite what has been posted here and is generally available on non-wingnut sites speaks volumes.

The Russians have been using the media aimed at the Right for years now in Europe. And have shifted their expertise to the US in recent years. Drudge is a well-known conduit for Russian propaganda.

And, of course, there is Zerohedge.

The social media manipulation by Russians has been interesting. A lot of the hysteria over ebola, something which you were a reliable source of, seems to have originated with Russian trolls.

Now to be fair, the Russian trolls have also targeted issues on the Left, like the police shootings. But, as with any fake news, those on the Right are much more succeptiable to the Russian troll farms. If only for their tenacity on holding onto bullshit in the face of piles of evidence. And many of y'alls pundits have few reservations about promoting stuff they know is false if they think they can gain some political advantage. Limbaugh has copped to doing this on more than one occasion. Most recently over Ebola. So he was also a conduit for Russian propaganda.

I trust you will dismiss this. Because that is what you do. Ideology over country is your motto.
