Is the Washington post fringe right wing propaganda? I mean all reports are it’s $75k on Facebook ads, right? I’m not sure how one manipulates that data to being meaningful.


did a quick search...

this says 300k on twitter and facebook: https://www.sandiegouniontribune.co...-twitter-facebook-ads-20170928-htmlstory.html

this says russia had a monthly budget of 1.25m toward interference efforts by 9/2016: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-much-did-russian-interference-affect-the-2016-election/

--------another story with a monthly budget of 1.2 million : https://www.businessinsider.com/russian-troll-farm-spent-millions-on-election-interference-2018-2

this says tens of millions over several years and various ways: https://www.wired.com/story/did-russia-affect-the-2016-election-its-now-undeniable/

this says over 100k during election on facebook alone: https://www.latimes.com/politics/wa...ccounts-from-russia-1504779562-htmlstory.html

here is an overview, per wash post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...e-interference-effort/?utm_term=.2cb1222d127d
