Wouldn't be surprising.

I'm currently reading Omarosa's book (about halfway through, brief synopsis "through all the red flags, I stood by him because he'd always had my back, until he didn't") but one of the interesting points I read was about the daily communications between the campaign team and Fox News. Fox News appeared to be one of the major sources of info that was getting distributed to the campaign team in their daily briefings. And we all know even to this day Trump and Hannity are pretty tight.

"This Group Posed As Russian Trolls And Bought Political Ads On Google. It Was Easy"

Why Social media is the enemy of the people too.

In the summer of 2018, after months of public and legislator outcry over election interference, you might think it would be difficult for a Russian troll farm to purchase — with Russian currency, from a Russian ZIP code — racially and politically divisive ads through Google. And you might reasonably assume that if such a troll farm were able to do this, Google — which has said "no amount of interference that is acceptable" — would prevent it from successfully targeting those ads toward thousands of Americans on major news sites and YouTube channels.

But you’d be wrong.

Researchers from the advocacy group the Campaign for Accountability — which has frequently targeted Google with its “transparency project” investigations and has received funding from Google competitor Oracle — posed as Kremlin-linked trolls and successfully purchased divisive online ads using Google’s ad platform and targeted them toward Americans.

The advertisements appeared on the YouTube channels and websites of media brands like CNN, CBS This Morning, HuffPost, and the Daily Beast.

These in bold aren't honest, fair, and actively participate in dividing the nation for revenue. They run fake ads with their fake news. Here's proof again.

Re: Media Bias

Well that's pretty shit Chico. If true and Google is just letting anyone buy ads and put anything up it really goes against what they're preaching about letting fake news spread.

I'd also like to add an additional point about how stupid, we, the American people (not just the right) are becoming if we actually believe those ads. It really doesn't paint people in a favorable light if they can't look at that nonsense and tell fact from fiction.

60 mins report on fake news which was done probably 8 months ago said Education level did not matter when people read fake as well political leanings....That was my biggest take away from that excellent piece by Scott Pelley.

Think about that...when people believe fake news it does not matter about how smart/dumb you are or if you are Republican/Democrat....So its an emotional response based on bias and what the person wants to believe.

I agree. You would think these companies would have top Quality Controls across all industries...Obviously not. Fundamentally you have to ask yourself, if Google doesn't...then what? This isn't a good look.

Welp, here you go:

That was no white-power hand signal at the Kavanaugh hearing

More conspiracy theory and fake news from twitter, fucking amazing how dumb the alt left is... I see the continuing conspiracy theories of Justice Kennedy's old seat still raging on...

This is good example of how fake news that is so obviously absurd can go viral and retards actually believe this stuff. You must be a hardcore loser to say and retweet this shit

Re: Media Bias

All the outlets I have seen so far are all saying there was no WHITE POWER sign. So it looks like the 'real media" is getting it right . Seems like more personal bias to me.

If you would back off your unfounded media attacks you would see that they are reporting the truth "social media ran with something and the real media is saying what you said ...there was no "white power sign"....there are getting the truth out there. Wouldn't be a story here unless you brought it up , so who is at fault people who were spreading the lies or the real media that was clearing it up?

I know that but it took the wapo to have to write that so that dumb shit would stop. Google it and you will find actual papers and news channels from 7-9 hours ago reporting “was a white power sgned flashed today at kavenaugh hearing?

News channels and papers actually were spreading this shit.

This
Is
Why
Folks.
This is why people don’t trust and consider media the enemy of the people.

Re: Media Bias

So anybody want to take odds on who the op-ed writer is?

I'm going with John Kelly. He gets a first hand audience to the nonsense and he doesn't seem like the typical Trump yes man.
