>at least some of the false news that spread in the last few months of the campaign appears to have had much more serious geopolitical implications and was spread thanks to “a sophisticated Russian propaganda campaign,” reports the Washington Post, which cites two recent expert reports on the issue.
>Among the claims that were pushed by the propaganda efforts there was a particular focus on Hillary Clinton’s supposedly declining health, the supposed payment of anti-Trump protesters, and lots of efforts at pushing the storyline that the election was “rigged,” as Trump often claimed during the campaign.
>“They want to ... erode faith in the U.S. government or U.S. government interests,” said Clint Watts, a fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute who has tracked Russian propaganda for years. “This was their standard mode during the Cold War.”
>Now Moscow can directly target those they know are eager to believe what they’re selling.
>The Post also got an advanced look at a report by a group called PropOrNot that is dedicated to identifying Russian propaganda online. The report “identifies more than 200 websites as routine peddlers of Russian propaganda during the election season, with combined audiences of at least 15 million Americans,” ... “On Facebook, PropOrNot estimates that stories planted or promoted by the disinformation campaign were viewed more than 213 million times.”
>Many have raised questions about the list though, which includes several popular sites such as the Drudge Report. And they’re not all sites popular with the right wing either. PropOrNot lists several left-leaning sites, including Truthout and Black Agenda Report. The group has released a Google Chrome extension to help users identify these sites while browsing the web.

They just interviewed a guy on NPR about doing fake news. He was a registered democrat living in California, and smearing Hillary. Go cry about it somewhere else, Democrats. Your party doesn't listen to you, just like the Republican party never listened to us. That's the real problem.
