Blaming 2016 on Russian disinformation is American disinformation. The Republican controlled Senate Intelligence Committee released a report today outlining just how deep Russian interference in the 2016 election ran.
Entitled “The IRA, Social Media and Political Polarization in
the United States, 2012-2018″ the report zeroes in on Russia’s Internet Research Association which used Google, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to promote Donald Trump’s candidacy.
Jeet Heer, senior editor at New Republic, talks about the myth of Trump’s independent streak, why Hillary will be remembered as a transformative historical figure and how the United States media pushes a Trump narrative that soothes instead of informs.
