When the “breaking news” on the phantom of Russian collusion breaks now, does anyone notice? Blink and you’ll miss The Washington Post report on “A study finds minimal impact from Russian influence operations on Twitter in the Trump-Clinton presidential race.”

If there’s anything that the left-wing media pounded into everyone’s brains for most of Donald Trump’s presidency is that “Russian interference” was the unquestionable cause of Trump somehow squeezing out a victory despite a massive media bombing campaign in 2016. If only the American people had gone unmolested by Russian bots, President Hillary Clinton could have made glorious radical-feminist history.

But now a new study in the journal Nature Communications by six authors reported “exposure to Russian disinformation accounts was heavily concentrated: only one percent of users accounted for 70 percent of exposures.” Also, Putin’s bots were “eclipsed by content from domestic news media and politicians.” During the final month of the campaign, an average user was potentially exposed to four posts per day by Russian bots, compared with 106 by national news sites and 35 by politicians.
