(17,930 posts)and your theories/generalities are in conflict. If Russia just exacerbated what the American media did, then that still says that Bernie was helped. They helped Bernie to harm Hillary. Those are the facts.
You should read the Mueller indictments. Sorry, but only Fox News gets to perpetuate false story lines, and it is just common knowledge that they are not credible so you don't have to state the obvious about Fox News. We know they lie about Democrats and we know they lie about Hillary. We already know all that.
You also refuse to accept that there are literally millions more people on Facebook -- MILLIONS more -- than on the cable shows, especially. That is why online Russian troll armies were used, even trolling their victims down to what websites they viewed to determine how vulnerable they were to propaganda. It is obvious from your continued digressions that you are just trying to reboot your wrong opinions about the Russian influence. Your speculations look only to perpetuate some campaign talking points and are seriously lacking in facts.
Here is another article about the Mueller indictments and the Russia investigation. People are going to jail over this. It's real. A United States Presidency is potentially in danger here for his collaboration with Russia. We don't get to throw all that aside because we don't want to hear it.

A 37-page indictment resulting from special counsel Robert Muellers investigation shows that Russian nationals and businesses also worked to boost the campaigns of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Green party nominee Jill Stein in an effort to damage Democrat Hillary Clinton.
