caitlin sums up the russians did it crap reasonably well in this piece;
“So now the question becomes: how did Russia know to target African American voters, and especially in certain key states,” asked popular #Resistance pundit Amy Siskind in response to a New York Times article claiming Russian social media trolls targeted Sanders supporters and Black voters during the 2016 election.
“I think we’ll get our answers in the coming months from the Mueller probe,” Siskind speculated.
Well
that’s a mighty good question there, Amy, and I think the answer is
pretty obvious. Clearly Russia knew to target African American voters
because Donald Trump called his boss Vladimir Putin and told him about
America’s secret racial issues, which nobody in any foreign country
could ever know about on their own. Then it was a simple matter of
sending the trolls of St Petersburg’s Internet Research Agency to trick
Black people into thinking that the American political system hasn’t
been working for them, thereby ensuring the defeat of the rightful heir
to the presidential throne, Hillary Rodham Clinton. It’s not
disenfranchised voters’ fault that Hillary’s coronation failed to take
place, it’s the fault of Russian memes on social media which confused
their silly heads about who they wanted to vote for!
Or, alternate theory: everything about that question is immensely stupid........https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2018/12/18/mass-medias-russia-hysteria-is-openly-acknowledging-the-power-of-propaganda/
