“at all” is probably an overstatement. They were certainly trying.
“effectually”, or “significantly”, is where they failed.
They weren’t even the largest foreign player. The UK, Canada, and Australia did more - and their efforts are dwarfed by Mexico.
Russia is not at all harmless, but China is a *much* more aggressive and capable rival.
The media/DNC cover that the coup attempt was not dependent on the made-up dossier has now been exposed beyond question as a “debunked conspiracy theory” (a phrase the leftists love). Chew on that for awhile, Fredo.
Examples of Russian influence includes what? That some Russians bought $100k in ads on Facebook?

Agreed but many of us cede the point to the left that “Russia interfered with the election” and we shouldn’t. It lends credence to their overall scam.
You say this because you're an honest man and not a socialist ideologue.
Why would they face consequences from their bosses who are the directors of this charade, the overseers on the plantation?
Apologize?
How blind do you have to be?
The deep state operates a war room to amass power and wealth, but above all it exists to protect itself.
At the bottom of the food chain are celebrities and the media.
Each day, they dial into www.deepstatenarrative.com, enter their pin and get their message.
The deep state communications department are given the assignment of getting the message out through Online content, Newspapers, Magazines, Books, Speeches, et...
NO AUTHOR, SPEAKER, COMMENTATOR, CONTRIBUTOR ON THE LEFT THINKS OR WRITES FOR THEMSELVES
Period.
So, everyone. Stop. Just stop believing these leftists whoever they may be are stupid or crazy or filled with hate, their just folks who have been recruited to the cause because their are compromise, have high name recognition or large audiences.
...and there is proportionate compensation through advertising and laundered tax dollars.
That is all.
I’m not holding my breath. CNN & MSNBC will go out of business before admitting that they did anything wrong. Of course the won’t go out of business... instead there will be massive layoffs (which they will attribute to other things) or a change in parent companies. The new “parent” will be financially forced to point a loaded gun so-to-speak at the editorial board. Money talks and B-S walks.
The only good thing about Facebook is that we will know our enemies in the next civil war. Lol.
“I think the IG found out about the forgery by Clinesmith - though we already knew that Pages contacts with the Russians were being mischaracterized.”
It seems that Carter Page may have been a CIA-asset or ‘contractor’ who Team Obama decided to sacrifice in an effort to create the Trump-Russia narrative. Think about that. Look how the Media cried & pleaded about the dastardly Republican who “outted” Valerie Plame. That was factually false then, but likely true in this case.
Scooter Libby did time for a false charge. Team Obama would have been pleased if they could have rolled up Carter Page along with Flynn & Manafort. That’s how Team Obama rolls. They are criminals.
The report was a “bombshell”, and the Left knows it was.
Why don’t YOU learn some manners.
We know history. And we also know that a Mega-Corporate-owned “Press” that chooses to lie, cheat, and obfuscate in service to a government and/or totalitarian ideology is no longer a “Free Press” but simply a paid propaganda organ for the State.
The so-called “Free Press” as it is constituted in current-year America is an Enemy of The People and should be treated as such.
Take sides!!!?
"The media" means...."in the middle"
The RATagandists have engaged in total anti-American libel and slander for years if not decades. They've been the broadcast arm of the subversive democRATs/communists in trying to oppose and suppress the will of the American people.
They are the "enemies both foreign and domestic".
If they can't be prosecuted for their blatant and aggressive disinformation campaign, then they need to be individually sued into homelessness, and vociferously disrupted and harassed by the public every time they show their lying faces, or attempt to "cover a story".
"the press, being free, is free to take sides as it wishes"
And if they are...then so are we.
"The press" literally refers to the print media...the case needs to be made that those operating under license of the FCC have an obligation to honestly serve the public.
The newspapers can print whatever they damn well want...as they continue to lose readership and slowly circle the bowl.
Agree about being free to take sides.
However, in the beginning of the Republic, "the press" meant the printing press, and "freedom of the press" meant the People's right to publish.
The phrase "the press" to refer to newspapers and magazines didn't begin until the 1820s, and to refer to reporters and journalists until the early 1900s.

Why don't you blow me?
You and I are on the same page, sir. Sue ‘em all!
Apologize? Not as long as they have the last say and their sales are high enough to keep the power on. And there are enough liberal sheep in the pasture to do that. Don’t hold your breath.

Most of the media are members of the treason party and have been for years don’t expect them to ever change.
