We should convince Mediamatters to calculate the amount of time Fox News spent GLEEFULLY and faithfully reading Russian-hacked emails about Hillary Clinton vs. other networks. I bet it'll look a lot like the Benghazi graph.We know that Russians hacked DNC emails and leaked them to damage Clinton.
We now know that they did this specifically to throw the election to Trump.
They knew that in order to do this, they'd need help from 'friendly' or 'useful' third parties. Wikileaks was one of them. They knew FOX would be another.
I'd like to see just how much Fox News acted as a MOUTHPIECE FOR THE KGB in GRAPHICAL FORM.
Other news agencies didn't spend nearly as much time reporting on Clinton emails because:
A) They couldn't be verified, and other networks actually CARE about accuracy.
B) They were mostly just trashy gossip, and nothing to do with actual policy. (Off-color jokes and trash talk.)
C) And most importantly, THEY KNEW they would just be doing the bidding of a hostile foreign power.
Fox knew all these things, too, but devoted hours and hours to them anyway.
So, does anybody have any data on the amount of time Fox News devoted to doing the bidding of Vladimir Putin vs. other networks?

Where have you seen these RT headlines before?

The declassified CIA, FBI and NSA's report today made the connection. Fox News and the RW carried those RT propaganda headlines verbatim. Some were fake news, but all were designed to accomplish two goals in the eyes of impressionable voters:
1) Hurt Clinton, undermine her credibility, paint her as corrupt and untrustworthy
2) Help Trump, paint him as the unfairly treated underdog, promote him as a candidate.
11.2 million views of fake news propaganda rebroadcast by Fox News and right wing outlets that came directly from the Kremlin.
THE RIGHT WING MEDIA WAS IN ON IT TOO!
