4 yrs ago, the #Senate Intelligence Cmte UNANIMOUSLY endorsed the #US #intelligence community’s conclusion that #Russia intervened in the 2016 election in an effort to boost #Trump.
But Trump, who has repeatedly described the probes into Russian interference in the 2016 election as a “hoax,” is dismissing them this time around, too.#PutinsPuppet #USpol #democracy #InfoSec #NationalSecurity #MediaLiteracy #ForeignInfluenceCampaign #Propaganda #Trumpaganda

A related site aimed at #conservatives, “#SavannahTime”, writes on #Republican #politics & #LGBTQ issues. Some of the sites use #AI to plagiarize content from US sites, the company said. The “about us” blurb on the site reads, “We’re opinionated, we’re noisy, & we’re having a good time.”

The #Iran-built news networks include a site launched in Oct called “#NioThinker”, which focused on the #Israel-#Hamas #war before it started to publish articles on the coming #US #election. It takes a #liberal slant, calling #Trump an “opioid-pilled elephant in the MAGA china shop,” acc/to the report from Microsoft’s Threat Analysis Center.
