I had classes in media literacy in high school. Alas, now here we are. https://t.co/YtYBRNHokT

Maybe they are, but so is the chattering class.
This statement is also true when applied to well educated coastal liberals. Their uncritical, almost faith based acceptance of the Russiagate narrative has revealed them to be just as suggestible and easily duped as the red state rubes they disdain. https://t.co/PcUWfd3MCw

Maybe the dupes aren't regular people after all.
One facet of elite political culture that Russiagate lays bare is the contempt our top minds have for average voters. Here is 1 of multiple suggestions that Russian ads/bots changed minds/outcome. Look up the total for Russian FB Nov election ads in MI & WI - it’s less than $1k. https://t.co/mM7Z6P95oh
