  1. I seem to remember an official determination, months ago, that no election vote counts were affected by the supposed Russian hacking; now it seems this has been forgotten. Russian "interference" (i.e. advertisements) is BS, not because it doesn't happen, but because it's always happened and everyone does it, even the US. The idea that if Russians talk to American voters, the voters are rendered incapable of the same information vetting they're used to exercising routinely. Absurd! And offensive: it paints Americans as idiots. I'm going to speak now, for all Americans: "Get off your high horse and give us the raw information; we will take care of interpreting it and deciding on its value!" {voice of America off} We've been vetting "fake news" all our lives! Now you think you will unilaterally "protect" us from it. We've never had any need for such "protection"; you're selling it to us to artificially bolster the value of your product, the true fake news--the propaganda state, which has been steadily losing adherents since the advent of alternative internet new sources. So they gin up this Russian thing to convince everyone it's an issue, this fake news. Like, we should only get our news from approved sources; and other sources should be eliminated. I don't like the idea. Monopoly of information is too precious to simply let slip away, without a fight, they think. And they're right. It is.
