On today’s show: Manafort and Russian Collusion
01:15 Connor’s much different take on the Senate Judiciary Committee Crime and Terrorism Subcommittee on the Russian Ad Collusion during the election. Facebook, Twitter and Google were represented and questioned. Main stream media had a much different take.

06:40 Sasse, Klobuchar and Ted Cruz did well, seemed to know technology. Content examples were always bashing Clinton, or pro Trump only. Cruz gets crucified by media for straying from the focus, but instead presented a tally of positives/negative posts that suggest the media giants use their platforms by throttling traffic to support their own political agendas. Cruz tallies show Bernie Sanders with most positive comments, followed closely behind by Hillary, with Trump behind with less than a half of the number of positive posts of either Clinton or Sanders.
08:25 Twitter lawyer presents data on an example ad, telling voters they can vote via text. Twitter data showed that the one post had 8 times the replies calling out the post as fake content. Who really got the bigger exposure? They also pressured Twitter to answer how many people called the number, but Twitter had nothing to do with that phone number, so the question could not be answered, yet the bullying over how many people called this number continued.
10:15 These 37,000 Twitter accounts and 3,000 Facebook ads did not change the election or sway any voters according to Connor’s estimates.
11:10 Americans are known to meddle in other country’s elections. So this seems very hypocritical
