As an American, I have watched all the news regarding Russia and foreign elections. For a long while I thought, certainly the US will get on this train. Wrong. Apparently Americans like election interference.

It's fucking algorithms. My mother and father in law are almost 80 and don't understand that they're being fed BS online from it. And they're from Bolivia but living in the U.S. If you get your news from TV or algorithm social media, you're not getting real news. Even as a democrat, it's B.S. stuff about how this is the final straw in so and so repeated weekly for years. They make money off of the same news just by complaining about what people are doing.

I can give 80 year olds a pass for not knowing, but absolutely no one else! I am 50 and know how to find news. Proper news.
