      NEW: I went looking for the Russian troll behind the 'Drunk Pelosi' viral video hoax. Turns out he's an itinerant forklift operator from the Bronx who's been secretly running hard-right "news" outlets across social media for years. Also, not Russian. https://www.thedailybeast.com/we-found-shawn-brooks-the-guy-behind-the-viral-drunk-pelosi-video …

          CNN tracks down random people, accuses them of being Russian dupes because they were members of a Facebook group, and then acts flabbergasted that there's animosity toward the media https://twitter.com/CNN/status/966134015337140229 …

          "Also, not a Russian" is so symptomatic. I get it, journos needs to eat... but seriously! Everybody's senses are so compartmentalized that people are not people but symbols and gossip handles. So sad, all of this. As in, all of this.

          This 'precariously employed American guy' could get a lucrative gig on MSNBC if he runs with the xenophobia and tells them what they want to hear: Putin made him do it.
