Nobody on DU is echoing those claims though. emulatorloo May 2017 #8

I've seen plenty of threads defending Mensch Spider Jerusalem May 2017 #10

There's plenty of huge stories that appear to be true to make this pointless.... bettyellen May 2017 #5

I've seen more fake stories claiming there is nothing there.... muddy waters are Putin's playground bettyellen May 2017 #2

Yeah, the "no evidence of Russian Interference" nonsense from Fox types and Greenwald types. emulatorloo May 2017 #3

The Russians are denying things Trump didn't bother to! It's insane. bettyellen May 2017 #7

Great response, agree 100% ATL Ebony May 2017 #47

Exactly Me. May 2017 #21

Yeah I've noticed some strange stuff too. bettyellen May 2017 #23

RT crap and uncritical links to Breitbart and Fox during primary 2016 emulatorloo May 2017 #50

Exactly! bettyellen May 2017 #51

The Russians did their best to interfere with our election. ... spin May 2017 #24

I do not believe that Democrats fall for fake news.... chillfactor May 2017 #26

Falling for fake news is a human thing not a political one wasupaloopa May 2017 #41

Pot-stirring, concern trolling and deflection in one insipid article! FreepFryer May 2017 #29

I fell for news from these sources last week. I'm glad some on the Dem side applegrove May 2017 #30

What story and what source did you fall for? (N/t) FreepFryer May 2017 #31

Everyone mentioned by name in the article. I was made to look like a fool applegrove May 2017 #33

all of them all at once? Wow, you hit the "indiscriminate parroting of rumor as fact" lottery! FreepFryer May 2017 #39
