Shock: NYU Study Finds Russian Trolls Had Little to No Impact on Trump's 2016 ElectionWhere do we go to get our last six years back? From the Washington Post: A study finds minimal impact from Russian influence operations on Twitter in the Trump-Clinton presidential race Oh, it doesn't say there was zero influence, so let's assume we're still Basically Right. It doesn't examine other social media, like the much-larger Facebook. Where Russian-affiliated companies spent a staggering One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars on ads. Nor does it address Russian hack-and-leak operations. Like the Hunter Biden laptop. Whoops. Another major study in 2018 by University of Pennsylvania communications professor Kathleen Hall Jamieson suggested those probably played a significant role in the 2016 race's outcome. Sure, sure. Lastly, it doesn't suggest that foreign influence operations aren't a threat at all. We're witnessing one right now, from Ukraine. Let's dive into the numbers. The article keeps bringing up "hack-and-leak operations." Let's be clear about what happened there: Hillary Clinton and the DNC rigged the primary against Bernie Sanders, and leakers exposed this fact. That wasn't a lie. That wasn't "Russian Disinformation." That really happened. The leakers just revealed the truth which Hillary Clinton, the DNC, and her Media Mafia wished to conceal. Another report from Columbia University relied on data from online betting markets to suggest that Russian trolls swung the 2016 election to Trump. Odds favored Democrats during Russian holidays when the nation's trolls were less likely to be active. Look how desperate the Washington Post is to counter this study. Now we're down to betting markets, based on faulty polling, being wrong. Given the small margins of victory in some states for Trump, could even a small number of people who changed their attitudes as a result of Russian influence operations online have swayed the vote? The sample size of the Twitter study suggests not, but "we'll never really know," Tucker said. "We cannot reject out of hand that there wasn't some incredibly unlikely confluence of things here that happened in this regard." "We'll never really know" is the leftwing partisan's Proof Beyond Reasonable Doubt. They did the same thing with the Mueller Report. One of the potential impacts was indirect, Tucker said: It opened the door for people to doubt that President Biden defeated Trump in 2020. Um, you mean after the left claimed that the election was fraudulently stolen by the Russians for Donald Trump, that opened the door for the right to make similar claims? Oh well!
