Remember when the right wing groups were up in arms about the censoring of non-liberal news by the news moderators and FB had to reorganise the whole team.

Now we know the so-called liberal bias was that they were censoring all the (mostly) right wing fake news stories coming from the Russian backed troll teams.

>Russian backed troll teams Is there any hard evidence whatsoever that this is the case, and may you point me to it? I'm fully aware that Russians never "hacked the election" as many news outlets will have us believe (low confidence from the intelligence community, the previous president, and others) but I would believe that claim with hard evidence.

Your comment is going way off the general subject of the conversation, but I thought I'd oblige.

If it's your confidence in the IC, and the previous admin, judging by your comments you might not be opposed to written testaments from the current administration's DHS Cyber Division: https://www.dhs.gov/news/2017/06/21/written-testimony-ia-cyb...
