Facebook under fire over Russian ads in election

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Facebook is under fire after revealing that a Russian group tied to the Kremlin bought political ads on its platform during the 2016 elections.

Lawmakers are demanding answers, and liberal groups, who say the company failed to crack down on fake news, are seizing on the new disclosure.

Even Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic nominee, has cited the ads when discussing her loss during a book tour.

"We now know that they were sewing discord during the election with phony groups on Facebook," Clinton told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow. "They were running anti-immigrant, anti-me, anti-Hillary Clinton demonstrations. They were putting out the fake news and negative stories untrue to really divide people."

1. ARRRGGHHH

It's: "Sowing discord" not "sewing discord".

Sorry, I can't let this misuse slide.

3. In the last paragraph

"We now know that they were sewing discord during the election with phony groups on Facebook," Clinton told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow. "They were running anti-immigrant, anti-me, anti-Hillary Clinton demonstrations."

The Hill got it wrong.
