A new study has claimed Russia’s online interference tried to aid the conservative movement and Donald Trump. There’s a big problem with that assessment. It comes from a left-wing operation that previously classified more than 11 different conservative outlets as “junk news.” And two of those authors were also involved in this report. […]
The study was released by the Oxford University Computational Propaganda Project and Graphika. It argued that fake accounts, ads, and tweets “all clearly sought to benefit the Republican Party — and specifically Donald Trump”
The Oxford University Computational Propaganda Project had attacked several conservative outlets as “junk news” in previous studies. Those targeted outlets include Drudge Report, NewsBusters, CNSNews, MRCTV, Breitbart, the Daily Caller, Free Beacon, LifeNews, National Review, the Federalist, and the Red State.
The Democrats have usually been soviet suck-ups until Trump came along and won. It is only due to the cultural ownership of the institutional left and its deep state that this nonsense continues. It is well documented that during Reagan’s presidency while he was out-foxing the soviets with SDI in arms negotiations, Ted Kennedy was travelling to Moscow to advise Mikhail Gorbachev on how he could defeat Reagan in such negotiations. That is what real Russian collusion looks like by one of the most despicable Americans to hold office.
Instead of Kennedy’s body lying in-State with pomp and circumstance, his misdeeds should have been reposing in and on every media outlet in this nation. First and foremost, the utter catastrophe of his 1965 Immigration Act. It is why our nation has been flooded with welfare cases from the 3rd world, and diseases previously eradicated. And all his subsequent add ones to that crap sandwich.

“Those targeted outlets include Drudge Report, NewsBusters…..”
They should have included SDA in that list. Kate deserves the proper recognition!
Yeah! And all of us “John Birchers” who comment here!
The George Soros et al globalist syndicate do not rest in their efforts to destroy freedom. They are bound and determined to create a world government. They will make Stalin’s Gulag camps look like a suburbia day care.
The Russians have interfered in western country’s elections for years.
But then again so do Americans.
Just a fact.
I am much more concerned with Google and Facebook manipulation.
The arrogance of the establishment and the left is their downfall. They are so blinded by their belief that only ignorance and deceit oppose them that they cannot read what is in front of them. They pass on their phoney analyses to each other in a reinforcing circle of delusion. I often wonder how such people didn’t see the English civil war or French revolution coming, but now I see this, myopia is not quite the right word, elite circular delusion today and the establishment is apoplectic in its incomprehending frustration that they are not being listened to but openly disobeyed. “Brexit splutter!! Trump, uugghh!” Hence the desire to shutdown and control the channels of communcation that allow such ill-bred and ignorant disobedience to thrive. Ah, the internet, for good or bad, it is as significant as the invention of printing 600 years ago.

Hey, never mind that this kinda stuff has been going on for decades by dozens of actors, good and bad alike. When it occurs on the internet, this effort is a lot like pissing in the ocean and expecting New York City to be under water.
What is fascinating is that the neurotic cases of arrested development can’t discern the underlying trends or why they were rejected. The normies figured out that the anti-Trumper’s vision for the future of Middle America is grim and depressing.
