Shock: NYU Study Finds Russian Trolls Had Little to No Impact on Trump's 2016 Election

Where do we go to get our last six years back?

From the Washington Post:

A study finds minimal impact from Russian influence operations on Twitter in the Trump-Clinton presidential race
Russian influence operations on Twitter in the 2016 presidential election reached relatively few users, most of whom were highly partisan Republicans, and the Russian accounts had no measurable impact in changing minds or influencing voter behavior, according to a study out this morning.
The study, which the New York University Center for Social Media and Politics helmed, explores the limits of what Russian disinformation and misinformation was able to achieve on one major social media platform in the 2016 elections.

"My personal sense coming out of this is that this got way overhyped," Josh Tucker, one of the report's authors who is also the co-director of the New York University center, told me about the meaningfulness of the Russian tweets.
"Now we're looking back at data and we can see how concentrated this was in one small portion of the population, and how the fact that people who were being exposed to these were really, really likely to vote for Trump," Tucker said. "And then we have this data to show we can't find any relationship between being exposed to these tweets and people's change in attitudes."
(Tucker is an editor of The Monkey Cage, a blog that partnered with The Post.)
But the study doesn't go so far as to say that Russia had no influence on people who voted for President Donald Trump.

Oh, it doesn't say there was zero influence, so let's assume we're still Basically Right.

It doesn't examine other social media, like the much-larger Facebook.

Where Russian-affiliated companies spent a staggering One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars on ads.

Nor does it address Russian hack-and-leak operations.

Like the Hunter Biden laptop.

Whoops.

Another major study in 2018 by University of Pennsylvania communications professor Kathleen Hall Jamieson suggested those probably played a significant role in the 2016 race's outcome.

Sure, sure.

Lastly, it doesn't suggest that foreign influence operations aren't a threat at all.

We're witnessing one right now, from Ukraine.

Let's dive into the numbers.
The results
Key findings of the report:
Only 1 percent of Twitter users accounted for 70 percent of the exposure to accounts that Twitter identified as Russian troll accounts.
Highly partisan Republicans were exposed to nine times more posts than non-Republicans.
Content from the news media and U.S. politicians dwarfed the amount of Russian influence content the electorate was exposed to during the 2016 race.
There was no measurable impact on "political attitudes, polarization, and vote preferences and behavior" from the Russian accounts and posts.
The study, published this morning in Nature Communications -- an offshoot of the science journal Nature magazine -- is years in the making. That's due to the amount of time needed to acquire data from Twitter, conduct the study, carry out surveys and run it through the peer review process, Tucker said.

The article keeps bringing up "hack-and-leak operations."

Let's be clear about what happened there: Hillary Clinton and the DNC rigged the primary against Bernie Sanders, and leakers exposed this fact.

That wasn't a lie. That wasn't "Russian Disinformation." That really happened.

The leakers just revealed the truth which Hillary Clinton, the DNC, and her Media Mafia wished to conceal.

Another report from Columbia University relied on data from online betting markets to suggest that Russian trolls swung the 2016 election to Trump. Odds favored Democrats during Russian holidays when the nation's trolls were less likely to be active.

Look how desperate the Washington Post is to counter this study. Now we're down to betting markets, based on faulty polling, being wrong.

Given the small margins of victory in some states for Trump, could even a small number of people who changed their attitudes as a result of Russian influence operations online have swayed the vote? The sample size of the Twitter study suggests not, but "we'll never really know," Tucker said. "We cannot reject out of hand that there wasn't some incredibly unlikely confluence of things here that happened in this regard."

"We'll never really know" is the leftwing partisan's Proof Beyond Reasonable Doubt. They did the same thing with the Mueller Report.

One of the potential impacts was indirect, Tucker said: It opened the door for people to doubt that President Biden defeated Trump in 2020.
"That campaign may have been more successful for reasons that it didn't set out to be successful, but by getting caught and having all this discussion," he said.

Um, you mean after the left claimed that the election was fraudulently stolen by the Russians for Donald Trump, that opened the door for the right to make similar claims?

Oh well!

NYU study in 2023 says what any sane person knew since 2017. There will not be a similar study on media and Democrat lies from 2017-2020 about "Russia hacking/stealing the election," however.

Hi everyone. Great to be back.

I want to publicly thank all the cobloggers -- I'll drop them an email too -- for covering me during my time off.

I did nothing, and nothing was everything I thought it could be.

Hope you're all well!

65 Giggle. As we all know, what is going on in Brazil right now is even worse than January 6th, and all Right Thinking People must united behind Lula, and stand up against fascism.

One slight problem - Lula and Putin are best buds, and the Kremlin has already denounced the "attempted coup".

Dmitry Peskov, Kremlin spokesman:

“We condemn in the strongest terms the actions of the instigators of the riots and we fully support Brazil's President Lula da Silva.”

I'll laugh and laugh and laugh when Lula starts shipping military equipment to Russia.

Lula:

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is “as responsible as [Russian President Vladimir] Putin for the war,” Brazilian presidential frontrunner Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva told Time magazine on Wednesday, insisting that there is never just one guilty party in war.

Official Washington would therefore have us pretend that our real enemy is a country with a bunch of oil, a bunch of nukes, and an economy the size of the Netherlands. Oh, and we should break Russia up, so that the Chinese can grab Siberia.

127 Are you sure, why, just today I found this in JJ's links -Byron York's column on Trump's tax returns -
"There are many examples, but to take just one: In July 2018, Trump traveled to Helsinki, where he met with Russian President Vladimir Putin. In a joint news conference, Trump refused to accept the American intelligence community’s assessment that Russia tried to interfere with the 2016 U.S. election. It was an appalling moment; investigators ranging from former Republican House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes to former Trump-Russia special counsel Robert Mueller had by that time concluded that Russia did, indeed, try to interfere. It is just a fact."

Those bots--maybe all of them--are good bots, you see, because they promote Regime propaganda and programs. Never mind that most "health professionals" promoting vaccines and lockdowns were bots, peasant, because it was good. Those bots even displayed Ukrainian flags because endless war is good, comrades!

179 "A study finds minimal impact from Russian influence operations on Twitter in the Trump-Clinton presidential race"

BUT, the real Influence Operation was by our DeepState (including the Dem Party, MFM, etc.). That operation was very successful. They still had to terrorize/obstruct Trump for four years (when they failed to steal 2016).
Then the last stage of the coup was completed in 2020 with The Big Steal.

After the 2020 coup, the new operation was 1/6 PsyOp to cover their tracks, continuing with their assault on patriotic Americans, making "US" domestic terrorists. The Russian Influence may exist, but Vlad would have preferred Hillary ... the only Russians Trump worked with were CIA assets sent to fabricate the Trump/Russia narrative.

196 You know what was the shocka! about all this.

The fairness of the Russia Hoax was first reported within days of the election of Trump IIRC.

Hillary!'s own lap-dog journalist who was hired to document Hillary!'s campaign, election and triumphant ascension to the Preezyship and then write a book about it-

wrote about {i] and was published in the MSM- how Hillary! and her election crew got together (after she came off her bender I suppose) and discussed -

exactly how they could reverse the election result and/or cripple Trump's Presidency.

And the best idea they all thought was to blame Russian collusion with Trump. (I guess because all conservatives to her way of thinking, are mind-numbed retards who instantly go into screaming fits anytime the Russians are mentioned.)

Now, remember, this was published in the MSM, IIRC even the NY Times!!!

Everyone knew it was a fake operation from the get-go.

So, I was shocked how many Republicans just went along with this. Just goes to show you the corruption of the Reps and their hatred for Trump.

A normal, functional political party would've laughed that shit off, pointed out the origin.

Senator Cory Booker (D., N.J.) and Representative Don Beyer (D., Va.) wrote a letter to the agency last month urging the commission to address the issue and calling the harmful emissions a “cumulative burden” on black, Latino and low-income households.

Right after the Russian revolution, approximately 25 years later, the French had a revolution. Then approximately 25 years later America had the Great Depression farmers were camped out on the White House lawn. The solution was social security. Now Brazil is having a revolution. If America were to follow Brazil, not only would our "ruling class" be out of power, they would also -if they were were lucky, they would go to jail.

The Left can't get over January 6th because it's their last chance--and it's a Hail Mary--to make Donald Trump ineligible to run for president--and discredit MAGA in the process

The Left looked into the abyss in 2016 and knew that if MAGA was allowed to run, they would win every election.

They can't get that close. They won't violate the exclusive economic zone. If they want to fire at Washington, they might want the hypersonic missiles because they'd have a better chance of evading missile defense.

362 Yes, the America middle class is disappearing. At least as defined by the above WSJ chart. 38% of US families were middle class in 1979 vs. 32% in 2014.

But where did that 7% (6.8 percentage points to be exact) go? Well, of the five income groups (poor, lower middle class, middle class, upper middle class, and rich) displayed, the bottom three got smaller, the top two bigger.

The poor shrank by 4.5 percentage points, the lower middle class by 6.8, the middle class also by 6.8% But the upper middle class got a lot bigger, expanding by 16.4 points, and the rich by 1.8 points.

Exactly. They also can block raising the farcical debt limit unless certain conditions are met and so forth. McConnell did all he could do to assist the DNC but there are theoretical tools available. I write "theoretical" because my guess is Biden would ignore Congress, appropriate money, raise the debt limit and ignore any court order to force them to follow the constitution, because there is no rule of law now, but those are things that once could have been done.

And I see I was late putting out my really only comment on the new House. TJM has been talking about this for a while.

$. $ is the leverage the Congress, but especially the House, has over the executive branch. Such has it ever been, and deliberately designed that way.

There is (or at least) was a Commerce/State/Justice appropriations bill every cycle. Cut DOJ/FBI funding by 30% unless they offer full cooperation into a real investigation of the various mega-scandals (anti-Trump operations, 702b queries, etc). Conference committee with Senate starts with that level. Hold out, and no "government shutdown", just a shutdown of those 3 agencies. It *is* this simple. A real political party wouldn't hesitate to do this.

This is true and also besides the point.

The house GOP can advance an agenda, they can advance and implement a return to regular order, they can hold serious oversight investigations and hearings, they could begin the task of crafting a balanced budget to be moved through committees, argued over on the floor and voted on at the constitutionally and legislatively mandated time.

They can do all of this and more, they can become serious legislators and return the US to a semblance of Constitutional Order or they can continue playing failure theater.

502 Welcome Back Ace.
To paraphrase Hadrian, the COBs did an exceptionally adequate job in your absence.
Hope you enjoyed your due dose of nothing.

505 Those saying the House GOP cannot do anything because WH and Senate really need to learn basic structure of the government and how it can function. House can pass appropriations at any level it deems appropriate, and Senate *must* negotiate with them. No conference report (bill as agreed by conference committee of House and Senate), no final passage, no bill goes to WH for president's signature.

508 It's really worse than that. The doctors no longer work for the hospital. They usually operate as "free agents". When you go to an ER, the doctors there will bill you separately from the hospital.
Posted by: SMOD at January 09, 2023 12:41 PM (RHGPo)

Doctors being employees of a hospital is a relatively new phenomenon. Historically they worked as a semi-autonomous body called the medical staff, with privileges to perform certain procedures. Hospitals have employed certain types of specialists at times and it has become more common in recent decades. ERs have often been staffed under exclusive contract with emergency physician groups to ensure coverage , but they're still not employees of the hospital. It's a tad confusing but doctors not being employed by the hospital has been the norm historically, not the other way around.
