Considering that both The_Donald and this sub is made up of fake posters of various origins, say 98% of The_Donald and about 95% of this sub, you are probably making a serious overestimate of the impact. I still know people who have never heard of reddit.

Never said Reddit had a stronger impact than other news sources, merely lumping Reddit in with the rest of the media suspects. If you don't think the lack of mention of the facts contained within the Hill article from ANY high ranking news org besides FOX (which doesnt give them a pass, theyre still generally fake news) is disturbing I implore you to change your definition. Doesn't mean Trump isn't colluding to say this is a bombshell of a story; why wont they report it?

The lie reached a targeted audience that includes huge percentages of fake and turffed believers.

The fact that the MSM mostly shunned it ought to tell you something.

It is not believable or supportable except to a tiny percentage of actual humans.

There are government documents contained within that corroborate. This is no lie friend. That said, just how deep it goes can still, to a degree, be speculated. I am saddened that you would use MSM as your compass of truth. I truly hope you open your eyes someday

After you read that what did you believe? What were your conclusions?

Did you miss this part? It looks like the bribery investigations were treated as a separate operation from the sale of the Canadian firm, Uraniumm one to the Russians.

And did you miss this part?

Multiple current and former government officials told The Hill they did not know whether the FBI or DOJ ever alerted committee members to the criminal activity they uncovered.

Listen, you may believe t_d is a reputable source, but it is beyond any doubt that there's foreign influences that have taken over that sub a long time ago. It's literally a propaganda machine.

That's the reason you see these two places where this is being pushed so heavily.. they've figured out that this sub has enough people that will accept things that aren't fact based. The one subreddit that's the easiest to influence.

I think that there's plenty of fine people here that really are interested in the truth, but those people aren't willing to accept anything truth.

Your very argument "why aren't anyone else talking about this" is very obvious to people that are even a little bit willing to be skeptical.. The only reason it is important, is because people are telling you it's important.

The very source being the Donald, where everything is to attack, attack, attack. The media is bad, liberals are mentally ill.. there's not a Shred of positivity that comes out of that sub, besides successful attacks. And anything that makes them or Trump look good.

There's no natural grassroots movement there. They literally not upvote anything they want to be seen, and the only things that get upvoted above 2-4k upvotes, actually has something actual humans agree with.

This sub and many others with millions more users simply don't have 1/10th the number of posts that reach that high of a number of upvotes.

So unless it has a large number of unemployed people that decided it's their job to get certain posts to the front page daily.. it's obvious that there's forces at work there, and even here, to try to influence how people think.

Be more skeptical, be less likely to just accept something as fact. Don't let them prove this sub is full of easily manipulated people. That's how they got their stranglehold. People that are far too willing to grab onto anything that attacks, attacks, attacks.
