Maher: How Russia manipulated us through Facebook

His New Rule on the topic. He reports on the Russian troll army haunting our social media, pretending to be Americans with the expressed intent of destroying our democracy. In particular, their infiltration of Facebook with virtually no filtering. You know, "the place where thinking went to die," with mindless sharing of anything in the moment to bolster one's ego. The Russians took full advantage to this culture of narcissism to spread their deception and the self-involved dolts bred by this media source unconsciously shared it. The very concept of sharing has been degraded from giving of oneself to inflating oneself and the Russians knew just what to do with it.
