Like amplify the false rumor a random Facebook mom in Ohio started?
You're pointing at a thing our own politicians and billionaires are currently doing and going "What if Russia did it too".
Understanding that the media amplifies particular stories to promote a perspective that is in their interest and against your own doesn't require the addition of a foreign power, that just muddies the issue.
The tone is all wrong.
Yeah, I kinda suck at rhetoric. What's a better way to present to people that the media pointing at foreigners exercising .001% of the malign influence they do serves to distract from the 99.99% of influence they exert? CNN wasn't presenting wall to wall coverage of Trump in 2016 because of Russia, nor are they essentially giving republicans free advertising by accepting their framing on crime and foreign policy in Israel right now because of Russia.
