A couple of things here:
- Obviously the Russians are actively still running political misinformation campaigns and I wouldn't underestimate their capabilities
- The US lawyers who represented the Russian company and allowed these to be released despite a gag order should probably face disbarment (my opinion anyway)
- Things we read on Twitter and Facebook that seem too good to be true if they support a position any of us agree with and want to be true, should probably be put under extra scrutiny.

- Yes, they are. The DNI explained as much in Congressional testimony yesterday...then the President trashed our intel agencies on Twitter. Curious.
- Yep.
- Yep...critical thinking, doubt, and fact-checking should become defaults. Unfortunately that also requires the capacity to be honest with oneself, admit mistakes, and acknowledge that you can be wrong while others are right...something seemingly few people today possess.

So Russia and Trump conspired and used Concord Management and Consulting to pay for advertisements on social media platforms and that information operation is what made the difference in the election of Donald J. Trump?

My point is information operations are all around us. I simply Googled the word autocracy. What did I notice all over the page? Pictures and articles about Donald J Trump. Now that’s odd. Does Google have a bias? 1SG (Join to see)

LTC (Join to see) If anyone was duped, it wasn't the intelligence agencies, as it appears they were on this before the election. Voters were duped.
Hindsight will tell, unless the report of the investigation is withheld.

LTC (Join to see) - I stay off the local forums, that's just crazyland. Waco and Ruby Ridge were screw ups. Of the kind that have been happening to people of color in this country with law enforcement for a very long time.
Cliven Bundy, however, I have no sympathy for. I can't understand why he's not in jail.

LTC (Join to see) Putin's picture was first I saw. 7 out of 50 images were of Trump. The images were associated with different forms of media.
Google may be biased, and you'll see the plans for Apple's self driving car before you see their algorithms.
Trump may just have generated the number of articles associating his image with autocracy.
Where is the evidence that supports any claim that Google has any bias against Trump?
Certainly, his 96% claim, like very many of the things he says, hyperbole aside, isn't supported by facts.

Awaiting the reaction from the Judge. She has already ripped the defense lawyer for his games. I want to see what she does about this violation.
My understanding to this is the Russians took bits of data, twisted it, and attempted to show the Special Counsel had nothing.
Mueller put a quick stop to that.
