"Research Institute in Philadelphia, said that by linking to popular news sources, the Russians enhanced the credibility of their Twitter accounts, making it easier to manipulate audiences. "

Many watched & knew what was going on, I think the degree to how every form of media in 2016 was so coordinated in favor of a Trump win, was stunning & unbelievable in its scope.

I had read awhile back, that media often reported what was trending. It was whatever story got the most attention & "likes" that often headlined the daily big news story.

I believe that is the truth. I remember 2016 exactly that way.

MSM was worthless
