Trump Quashes Another #FakeNews Media Lie: Crooked Hillary had Facebook on Her Side Too

President Trump quashed another liberal media lie today in a series of Sunday morning tweets.

Trump correctly pointed out the much publicized mainstream media lies that a few Facebook ads flipped the 2016 election.

President Trump: Keep hearing about “tiny” amount of money spent on Facebook ads. What about the billions of dollars of Fake News on CNN, ABC, NBC & CBS? Crooked Hillary Clinton spent hundreds of millions of dollars more on Presidential Election than I did. Facebook was on her side, not mine!

Once again, President Trump was correct.

** Russia spent $100,000 on Facebook before or after the 2016 election.
** This was during an election where Democrats outspent Republicans by over one hundred million dollars.
** The liberal media was meeting with and dining with top liberal reporters prior to the election.
** The liberal media gave Hillary Clinton over a billion dollars in favorable coverage.
** The ads promoted neither candidate.
** Half of the ads were posted AFTER the election.
** 25% of the ads did not play at all.

Here is more on those dangerous Russian ads from a previous report:

In September Facebook announced it would turn over 3,000 Russian-linked ads to GOP-led congressional committees. The left now claims 3,000 ads costing $100,000 that were neither favorable or unfavorable for either candidate flipped the 2016 election.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg even released a statement on the conspiracy.

President Trump was right again.

Now we know for certain that this was all another fake news story.

Russia Today reported this week that half of the Facbook ads ran after the election and 25% of the ads never ran at all.

Via Russia Today:

More than half of the ‘Russian advertisements’ on Facebook that supposedly influenced the 2016 US elections actually appeared after the vote, the company has revealed. Nobody even saw one-quarter of the ads bought by “inauthentic accounts.”

In September, Facebook vowed to deliver Congress some 3,000 ads purchased between 2015 and 2017 and connected to 470 “inauthentic” accounts and pages, which, as it continues to say, “appear to have come from a Russian entity.”However, Moscow has blasted those allegations, while repeatedly stating that it had nothing to do with the 2016 vote.

“44% of total ad impressions [number of times ads were displayed] were before the US election on November 8, 2016; 56% were after the election,” the social media giant stated on Monday as it published some “facts” about “Russian ads.” 

However, over “25% of the ads were never shown to anyone,” the Monday ‘factsheet’ says, adding the posts have reached some 10 million users.

The more you dig into the ‘Russia hacked the election’ Democrat-media conspiracy the more you discover there is nothing there.
