Here are some key findings of the report:

  • Only 1 percent of Twitter users accounted for 70 percent of the exposure to accounts that Twitter identified as Russian troll accounts.
  • Highly partisan Republicans were exposed to nine times more posts than non-Republicans.
  • Content from the news media and U.S. politicians dwarfed the amount of Russian influence content the electorate was exposed to during the 2016 race.
  • There was no measurable impact on “political attitudes, polarization, and vote preferences and behavior” from the Russian accounts and posts.
While the Times takes great pains to say that this was only one social media platform and that the impact of Russian advertising on other media companies like Facebook has not been examined, the problem is that the burden of proof is now on those who claim Russia stole the election for Trump.


There is no such proof.

Hillary's 'Russian Collusion' scandal has been debunked.

FBI Agent Page testified that the FBI conducted its own internal investigation BEFORE Mueller was appointed Special Counsel and found there was NOTHING TO THE CLAIM.

NO RUSSIAN IMPACT ON THE 2016 ELECTION.

There weren't all that many Russian trolls on Twitter and Facebook because according to McRib, they were all on here.
