Groundhog Day Edition: Keep Russian hack of US election on the front pages! Click these links!

If you think this project is worthwhile, please kick and rec!

(Have you called your senators today and told them to say no to DeVos? If not, do it now! 202-225-3121. Time is running out!).


Please click on the links below to keep news organizations reporting on the Russian hack of our election. The more clicks the articles get, the more ad revenue they get and the more incentive the publishers have to publish more stories on the Russian hack. We need the media to investigate it and fight it. By clicking, we give them a financial incentive to do that.

Below are 20 articles. Please click on each and scroll through. Also, please spend a little time each day on BuzzFeed and MotherJones. They are leading the way in investigating what is going on.


Still nothing in the US press about the murder of Oleg Erovinkin, though it is being covered in the international press. (He's the guy who was involved in compiling the Russian dossier on Trump and who was found murdered in Russia last week.)

Maxine Waters's press conference to bring attention to the issue of the Russian hacks got NO coverage, I couldn't even find articles for us to click on. But there is a house subcommittee opening up an investigation.

Thank you again to all who have been following this and clicking.



If you are new to this project and would like to click on the 20 articles from past batches, here are where you can find them:

MSM wants us to forget all about it I think.
Of course the current faux administration wants it to go away.

There are enough NEW issues to deal with. Russian involvement should be investigated, but the average voter wasn't influenced by Russian propaganda, and isn't focused on it now.

If the fact of Russian tampering in US elections doesn't bother you, you can just move along.
