And they did it all with a few thousand bucks, a tiny fraction of campaign spending.
Amazing! For a country that runs mostly on Personal Influence Networks, those Ruskies sure know how to manipulate a large and diverse country along gender and ethnic lines!
Every Congressman is snapping up Russian advisers for 2020.

Did Russia try to shove Transvestites in our faces, did Russia demand a transvestite be in Miss Universe, did Russia tell the Universities to partake in one sided Racial Slamming.
Whiteman is bad and must kiss the Brownman's ass? Liberals are so full of shit, no wonder they have brown eyes.

Liberals have surpassed Fake News are now purveyors of fine Junk News.

This Russia Study was done by Lying Liberal hacks.
A new study has claimed Russia’s online interference tried to aid the conservative movement and Donald Trump. There’s a big problem with that assessment. It comes from a left-wing operation that previously classified more than 11 different conservative outlets as “junk news.” And two of those authors were also involved in this report.
The study was released by the Oxford University Computational Propaganda Project and Graphika. It argued that fake accounts, ads, and tweets “all clearly sought to benefit the Republican Party -- and specifically Donald Trump”
The Oxford University Computational Propaganda Project had attacked several conservative outlets as “junk news” in previous studies. Those targeted outlets include Drudge Report, NewsBusters, CNSNews, MRCTV, Breitbart, the Daily Caller, Free Beacon, LifeNews, National Review, the Federalist, and the Red State. (Three of those are operated by the Media Research Center, which runs NewsBusters.)
The study on “junk news” drew on “a list of sources that consistently publish political news and information that is extremist, sensationalist, conspiratorial, masked commentary, fake news, and other forms of junk news.”
That study was also produced by Oxford and Graphika. Two of the people behind that study, “Junk News Consumption,” were involved in this latest study, “The IRA, Social Media and Political Polarization in the United States 2012-2018.” Philip N. Howard and John Kelly worked on both projects. On Twitter, Howard has posted that he is against the Second Amendment, and repeatedly pushed that Trump supporters and the Trump campaign work primarily through “fake news.”
Another member of the group that produced the study, Camille Francois, was a former employee of Google, working at Jigsaw as a Principal Researcher.
In the new study, one of the key findings was that the IRA accounts “spread sensationalist, conspiratorial, and other forms of junk political news and misinformation to voters across the political spectrum.”
The analyses looked at how the IRA accounts targeted conservative groups and minority groups. The reason for the Russian interference in minority groups, such as Muslim Americans and the LGBTQ community, was purportedly to “confuse, distract, and ultimately discourage members from voting.”
The Washington Post reported that the study was created to analyze the millions of posts “provided by major technology firms” to the Senate Intelligence Committee, headed by Sen. Richard Burr, (R-NC), and Sen. Mark Warner, (D-VA).
The Oxford University Computational Propaganda Project is a branch of the Oxford Internet Institute, which is heavily funded by tech companies, media and government agencies. Funders include: AOL, Google, BBC World Service Trust, eHarmony, and Virgin Media.
It’s also supported by government organizations such as the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), National Institutes of Health, British Telecommunications, and UNESCO. The liberal Rockefeller Foundation also funds this project.
The Senate has yet to announce whether or not it endorses the findings of this project.
In the study, the researchers reported that Google “chose not to disclose any account date on ads, YouTube, or Google+.” However, the report stated that while it is the most “comprehensive” study on all the data released, only “small amounts of data” have been released from major social media firms.

The article has nothing to do with Trump supporter's rage either. So I'm giving the clueless Liberals a clue.
