DC:
Democratic operatives created thousands of Twitter accounts posing as Russian bots in order to boost Alabama Democratic Sen. Doug Jones in the October 2017 special election by linking his Republican opponent, Roy Moore, to Russian influence campaigns.
The operatives, who were funded by liberal billionaire Reid Hoffman independently of Jones’s campaign, created more than a thousand Russian-language accounts that followed Moore’s Twitter account overnight, The New York Times reported Wednesday evening.
Hoffman gave the operatives $100,000 for their project, which included creating fake conservative Facebook accounts to dissuade voters from supporting Moore, according to the Times.
“We orchestrated an elaborate ‘false flag’ operation that planted the idea that the Moore campaign was amplified on social media by a Russian botnet,” the operatives recounted in an internal report obtained by the Times.
Media outlets — both in Alabama and nationally — fell for the ploy and amplified the false narrative in October 2018. MORE
This illustrates that there are no depths of slime that the demonrats will not sink to for a win at the polls.

“… Media outlets — both in Alabama and nationally — fell for the ploy and amplified the false narrative …”
Fell for? FELL FOR?
How about “conspired to deceive and defraud” the voters of Alabama?
WTF?
izlamo delenda est …
And you know who will be punished for this?
Yeah, just kidding.

RIGHT! They did not “fall for it”; they did it!
The American Press has hated America for at least 70 years. So they publish lies as “news” KNOWINGLY ,
2 examples this century:
JFK’s “2 tours” (he in fact did a fifth of a tour!)
RATHERGATE
AS KURT HAS SAID A FEW TIMES THIS YEAR; THE MSM HATES AMERICA; SO THEY HATE US!
Their bigotry got Roy; too bad for America.
