WaPo Quietly Reports Bombshell Study That Proves Russian Digital Influence in the 2016 Election Was Essentially Nil
THE LIBERTY DAILY | 1/9/2023 | J.D. RuckerThroughout the entirety of Donald Trump’s presidency, the Washington Post and all the other corporate media propagandists claimed Russian influence was what made Hillary Clinton lose. Every minuscule story that even hinted about Russia using bots and spreading pro-Trump messaging on social media was blown up to be massive front page news.
They’ve finally published a story about Russian influence in the 2016 election that didn’t make the front page. In fact, you’d have a hard time finding it on their website if you weren’t looking for it specifically. This is because it highlights a recent study that shows Russia’s “massive” digital influence in the 2016 election didn’t really do anything at all.
The article, titled “Russian trolls on Twitter had little influence on 2016 voters,” paints a picture that goes against every Russian collusion narrative the leftist outlet has ever published. According to the article:
Russian influence operations on Twitter in the 2016 presidential election reached relatively few users, most of whom were highly partisan Republicans, and the Russian accounts had no measurable impact in changing minds or influencing voter behavior, according to a study out this morning.
Pootin: “But my invasion of Nazi Ukraine is real komrade with my supersonic missiles and the story of me riding bareback on Russian bear is also real”!
Has anyone let Hillary know about this?
I’ll leave a note in the gin aisle at her local liquor store.
I’m still trying to figure out what it was about Trump’s agenda that would have made Putin support him.
Was it his call for energy independence and increased oil drilling, which keep international crude prices low and cut into a major source of Russian revenue?
Was it his promise to restore US military might while demanding that NATO allies increase their military spending, and his moving of American troops further east from Germany to Poland?
Was it his claims that he would re-impose sanctions on Iran?
I can understand that maybe Putin would prefer a US President who is a neophyte at international politics, but when the other option is a candidate who has already shown herself to be not only terrible at diplomacy, (really, the embarrassing “reset button” was the high point of her time as Secretary of State) but also willing to, let’s say, adjust her priorities when the money starts flowing, do you really think Putin was going to back the unknown quantity?

Just most of them.
Most? C’mon, it was way less than50%.
