Howard Kurtz was just on FBN reporting that Russian bots and propagandists have been flooding Twitter since immediately after the FL school shooting with gun control hashtags and propaganda.
He cited a NYT piece today that the Russian social media blitz is part of a far-reaching disinformation campaign on Youtube, Facebook, and Twitter.
Its goal is to fuel conflict, foment dissension and anger, and exploit fissures in our society.
It's working like a charm. Not just for elections.
"It's now clear that Russian propaganda and disinformation are a constant fact of life, even -- or perhaps especially -- when Americans are being killed." -- Howard Kurtz.
No wonder the Democrats are pissed off. The Russians are horning in on the Dem monopoly on propaganda and disinformation. Competition sucks, eh?
