In reply to the discussion: For those incensed by Trumps tweet re John Lewis [View all]yardwork
(61,785 posts)82. It's been clear for months that Putin funds JPR.
All the Russia Times talking points are there. JPR and many sites like it, plus all the fake news spread via Facebook and twitter, are part of the Trump campaign strategy run by the Russians.
Literally hundreds of DUers were taken in, as evidenced by their posting and reccing absurdly false stories about Hillary Clinton on JPR. All those people in turn spread the lies to friends and families. Echoes of it are still resonating on DU.
