      Nate Silver Retweeted zeynep tufekci

      So there were.... 3 mainstream media articles, out the many TENS OF THOUSANDS of articles published on the 2016 campaign, that embedded Russian troll tweets? I'm afraid that's not really helping your argument.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1075845985182441472 …

      There were many many examples like this. Troll accounts pushed narratives and succeded often enough, which then gave way to further organic spread because there's a feedback loop here. https://twitter.com/JodyShenn/status/1075837885541171200 …

      Yes, that's exactly my argument, right? Three troll tweets is all there is, and that plausibly swung a close election. 🙄Let me know if you want to argue against a stronger strawperson and I'll get back to it.

      Your argument is lacking in any sort of systematic evidence, at all. If you think impression counts are an imperfect measure -- and surely they are -- then come up with something better.

      In fact, it could easily be the case that the Russian troll posts were even *less* influential than the (already very low) raw numbers would suggest. Why? Because journalists are more likely to amplify known, trusted sources, and those accounts weren't known or trusted.

      Were you reading the same press? Just "@ TEN_GOP" had 100K+ followers and got quoted all the time. Not a journalist was like wtf? Press falls for social media crap all the time. Hopefully they will get better. In the future.

      That's just one single account. Point is any single direct RU thing is of course small but in total, especially with DNC hack plus surrounding info op, it seems big enough in how it affected the total ecology in context of US politics already all broken plus very close election.

          This new study shows the Russians got more impact in social media posts from accounts they controlled, than from paid advertising, in US Presidential election campaign. This is even more concerning, and suggests they control large networks of accounts https://cnb.cx/2ChoAXs

          This is misleading -- the @TEN_GOP is not just one of many similar accounts. It was maybe the ONLY account to gain significant traction with journalists on twitter. And to be honest, 100,000 is not a ton of followers when, e.g. the New York Times has 42,500,000.

          67 percent of Democrats believe it is "definitely true" or "probably true" that "Russia tampered with vote tallies in order to get Donald Trump elected." There is no evidence of Russia tampering with vote tallies. pic.twitter.com/mgSx3MEtnQ
