that information that aided Trump was passed along to the American People in plain sight. They used conservative radio shows and hosts to pass on the propaganda to the people.
An interesting exercise is to analyze Limbaugh's, Hannity's and other conservative radio host to see just how many of the points the Psyops Manual a particular radio show would hit.
1. Repetition is necessary for oral learning; therefore, key themes, phrases, or slogans should be repeated to ensure the TA (target audience)gets the desired message.
On a given day or week - analyze the conservative radio shows to see if they are using the same phrases and slogans and count the repetition of these phrases and slogans.
2. Emotional Power: A skilled radio announcer can exert tremendous influence on the listener simply with pitch, resonance, inflection, or timing.
The emotional tone conveyed by the voice may influence the listener more than the logic of arguments.
In those same radio shows track the pitch, resonance, inflection and timing of the conservative radio host.
3. Wide coverage: Radio programs can reach members of large and varied audiences simultaneously. That is especially useful in national news events and emergencies, especially when internet access is reduced.
This one is easy to track by just knowing the coverage area of a particular conservative radio show. [Note: as an aside - while driving across the U.S. one time I notice that the same conservative radio show was on more than one channel at the same time. It was like the people of the area were being brainwashed.
4. Speed: Radio programs can be quickly prepared for broadcast. Speed is important when attempting to capitalize on targets of opportunity.
Analyze a particular conservative radio show program to determine how fast a particular story - after it would hit national news - would turn up with counter talking points on a conservative radio show/station.
5. Ease of perception: Radio requires little or no effort to visualize the radio message. Illiteracy does not prevent the listener from forming his individual image as he listens.
This goes without saying. People are easily swayed by the spoken word - particularly when it comes from the mouth of one of their favorite radio host.
Social Media - is used much the same way and people become more invested in social media - because of their ability to respond to posts or their ability to contribute their own thoughts.
So bottom line - I've always heard that somebody in the U.S. must be passing information to the Russian hackers to use to target voters and voting blocks to help Trump and hurt Hillary. From reading the OP here - it looks like this was all happening in plain sight - right in front of our eyes - and was so ubiquitous that we couldn't see what was happening to us as it was happening.
Still - somebody provided the talking points to the conservative radio hosts for them to use in their shows.
