Sometimes “fake news” starts as merely misleading news. In the case of the Russians and Facebook, the media did report the truth, that $100K was spent. It’s misleading because they don’t tell the rest of the story that hundreds of millions were spent on Facebook by politicians of all stripes.
Under increasing pressure to explain the ridiculous notion that it only took $100,000 in Facebook ads from “Russian-linked” buyers (whatever that means), with many ads being pro-Hillary Clinton, to sway the election results against Hillary Clinton, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg finally spoke some sense in liberal left crazy-land, pointing out that “campaigns spent hundreds of millions advertising online” which was “1000x more than any problematic ads we’ve found.”
In other words…the DNC and the Hillary Clinton campaign spent 1000x more in Facebook ads than the measly $100,000 from accounts that are somehow linked to Russia (now under the scrutiny of the US Congress), and she still lost. Pathetic. Read more here.
