Facebook’s top advertising executive faced backlash Friday after weighing in on what he observed regarding Russian election meddling—namely, that the country’s disinformation campaign on the site was not an attempt to sway the 2016 election.
“Very excited to see the Mueller indictment today. We shared Russian ads with Congress, Mueller and the American people to help the public understand how the Russians abused our system. Still, there are keys facts about the Russian actions that are still not well understood,” tweeted Rob Goldman, Facebook’s head of advertising.
“Most of the coverage of Russian meddling involves their attempt to affect the outcome of the 2016 US election,” he added. “I have seen all of the Russian ads and I can say very definitively that swaying the election was *NOT* the main goal.”
Goldman went on to explain that the majority of Russian ads appeared on the social media site after the election.
“The majority of the Russian ad spend happened AFTER the election. We shared that fact, but very few outlets have covered it because it doesn’t align with the main media narrative of Tump and the election,” he said. “The main goal of the Russian propaganda and misinformation effort is to divide America by using our institutions, like free speech and social media, against us. It has stoked fear and hatred amongst Americans. It is working incredibly well. We are quite divided as a nation."
He said the best and easiest way to combat this type of campaign is to have a “well-educated citizenry.”.....snip~

Well he can forget about that with the leftness being involved. The Demos have dumbed their cult following down for generations.
