The Hill byline "journalist" John Solomon is a conservative, Wash Times dude. He made sure to hit each #TrumpRussia name, without facts that
can easily be refuted (or confirmed). Managed to take old news and reshape to allow for maximum damage to the #TrumpRussiaInvestigation.
Pretty clear propaganda but without actual facts to counter, it has been spreading around the conservative side of social media rapidly.
When you search John Solomon... thinkprogress.org/washington-tim…
I refuse to link here and give them clicks, but in addition to The Hill and amplification as noted above, as soon as this was "published"
other outlets like Gateway Pundit, New York Post, and even Newsweek posted "their own" stories that at best sourced heavily from The Hill,
and worst took all of The Hill "story" and used it word for word with few added lines to make in appear their own work.
I'm going to go ahead in posting some of the links, in case someone better than me wants easy access to study/report THIS amplification.
All you have to do is search "FBI Russian Bribery" and The Hill story has been spreading, possibly exponentially.
Newsweek was quick on
Newsweek was quick on
following on/sourcing The Hill, and that's the outlet that was most "legitimate" immediately after release.
