View submission: Suspected Campaign from Russia on Reddit
Yeah but media broadcasters in the UK are generally biased one way or the other, while the point of the Russian interference is to create chaos. I agree it's naive to say that "that doesn't happen it the UK lol" when the BBC (who are supposed to be neutral, and earn most of their income from TV licences, or in other words from the people) have made more mistakes[1] recently than they can really explain,[2] and other channels are just as bad[3]. That being said, it's clearly influencing public opinion one way or the other, it's a clear bias in one direction, whereas the Russian interference is done to maximise uncertainty and distrust. The Russian government benefit from us here in the UK distrusting our government and any confusion they can generate more than they do by directly trying to influence the result.
There's nothing here!
