Russia-linked Twitter accounts are rallying in support of Fox News host Laura Ingraham. According to one website that tracks Russian propaganda on Twitter in near-real time, the hashtag #istandwithlaura saw a 2800% jump in 48 hours. Another website that monitors Russia's disinformation campaign found that @ingrahamangle, @davidhogg11 were among the top six Twitter handles that Russia-linked accounts have tweeted at in the last 24 hours.
Russian-linked accounts' capitalization on the Ingraham controversy comes after they flooded Twitter with messages and disinformation related to the Parkland school shooting, which claimed 17 lives in February.
In the days immediately following the shooting, propaganda trackers found that the top hashtags among Russia-linked accounts were #Parkland, #guncontrolnow, #Florida, and #guncontrol.
Botcheck.me said almost all the top two-word phrases used on Twitter the day after the shooting had to do with the attack. "
The content that Russia-linked accounts spread on Twitter is not necessarily produced by Russian government operatives and does not always align with Russia's views, though that is sometimes the case, according to Hamilton 68.
Instead, the influence operation's main goal is to sow discord related to divisive political topics in the US and Europe.

So...........
Hogg is probably doing this himself just to bump his profile...
And how do we know that Russia bots aren’t the ones organizing AGAINST her?
Sort of sounds to me like they are saying all those emails supporting Laura Ingraham are from Russian bots. So they don’t believe the supportive items are coming from real folks like me. What a bunch of BS.
This red scare nonsense needs to stop.
I’m not a Russian anything. Just subscribed to Laura’s podcast. But I like Russian dressing on my salad.
Yeah, all opposition to the left wing lunacy is Russian bots. What phony bs.
exactly this is all a try to take her support away from her at Fox News from the regular folks by blaming the russians...
Clone Wars
...So they don’t believe the supportive items are coming from real folks like me...
And me.
They are after Laura because she has been an effective voice for the citizens against the Cheap Labor Express.
The left and the Bush League Republicans that are hell bent on making the USA into North Mexico want to eliminate any effective voice for national sovereignty.
The Ministry of Propaganda believes we deplorables are all Russian bots.
Does agreeing with Laura make me guilty of collusion, Comrade?
Business Insider is a leftist rag.
So, according to this, Russian bots are more Pro-America than our own media.
BI sees Russkis everywhere. It’s a dumbass liberal thing.
Business Insider is not about business, and they are certainly no insider.
Most foreigners are. Very few hate America more than they do at least.
