WaPo: Drudge, Zero Hedge, & Ron Paul are Anti-Clinton "Sophisticated Russian Propaganda Tools"

Washington Post Names Drudge, Zero Hedge, & Ron Paul As Anti-Clinton "Sophisticated Russian Propaganda Tools"

Citing "two teams of independent researchers" who found "Russia’s increasingly sophisticated propaganda machinery...echoed and amplified right-wing sites across the Internet as they portrayed Clinton as a criminal," WaPo names Drudge, Zero Hedge, and The Ron Paul Institute among the "useful idiots" that true American patriots should be wary of.

Important video from that ZH article
 
Yeah, I'm surprised we aren't on there. A lot of older posters had their accounts purchase by Russians posing as Trump supporters.
 
Glenn Greenwald has been destroying them over this on Twitter all day.

According to him, the article itself displays all the hallmarks of a fake news site. Including using anonymous sources to compile the list.

The desperate flailing of a mainstream-media struggling through the five stages of grief continues as no lesser unbiased foundation of the fourth estate than The Washington Post pushes ahead with its "fake news, blame the Russians" narrative for why their candidate failed so miserably.

Citing "two teams of independent researchers" (who surely have a substantial libel litigation provision) who found "Russia’s increasingly sophisticated propaganda machinery... echoed and amplified right-wing sites across the Internet as they portrayed Clinton as a criminal," the Jeff Bezos-owned website names Drudge, Zero Hedge, and The Ron Paul Institute and countless other outlets among the "useful idiots" that true American patriots should be wary of.

“The way that this propaganda apparatus supported Trump was equivalent to some massive amount of a media buy,” said the executive director of PropOrNot, who spoke on the condition of anonymity with the Post.

“It was like Russia was running a super PAC for Trump’s campaign."

Just... wow. I swear they are TRYING to alienate the public and make themselves even more irrelevant!
 
Based on the recent news and the anger of many Americans, combined with gulibility, I am thinking some bad trouble is brewing.
 
Also it doesn't mean that they think he is a plant just one who disseminates Russian propaganda. Same way not every one shilling for Trump on this site is a plant, many are just going it because they are true believers.

Some of them are being sarcastic and its hilarious that people take them seriously.
