Jim Acosta Jumps on New York Times Russia Nothing Burger – Gets Roasted on Twitter

by

Fake news CNN’s Jim Acosta got the memo to pivot from Nazi Nazi Nazi to Russia Russia Russia because he tweeted out a ‘Russian interference’ article by the New York Times that ended up being a big joke–and the internet responded.

Acosta tweeted out the newest fake news Russian story by the New York Times claiming a Russian company bought $100,000 worth of Facebook ads during the 2016 presidential election. The article is a big fat nothing burger, admitting that the ads didn’t mention a particular candidate and the few ads that did, mentioned both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.

Here are a few excerpts from this pathetic ‘groundbreaking’ Russian story by the New York Times:

Providing new evidence of Russian interference in the 2016 election, Facebook disclosed on Wednesday that it had identified more than $100,000 worth of divisive ads on hot-button issues purchased by a shadowy Russian company linked to the Kremlin.

Most of the 3,000 ads did not refer to particular candidates but instead focused on divisive social issues such as race, gay rights, gun control and immigration, according to a post on Facebook by Alex Stamos, that company’s chief security officer. The ads, which ran between June 2015 and May 2017, were linked to some 470 fake accounts and pages the company said it had shut down.

Mr. Stamos wrote that while some of the ads specifically mentioned the two candidates, most focused instead on issues that were polarizing the electorate: “divisive social and political messages across the ideological spectrum — touching on topics from LGBT matters to race issues to immigration to gun rights.”

Buried in the article, the New York Times admitted there is zero evidence that Trump colluded with the Russians:

To date, while news reports have uncovered many meetings and contacts between Trump associates and Russians, there has been no evidence proving collusion in the hacking or other Russian activities.

Jim Acosta was so excited about this NY Times article that he tweeted it out as if it were groundbreaking news.

Trump supporters hammered Acosta:
