The Hamilton 68 Fraud: How the Media Ran Their Scam

This was a fun episode to record, mostly because it’s hard to take too seriously that scams like this are so deeply embedded in our media and the public perceptions which follow. I mean, when you learn about stuff like this, it’s just such a transparently sloppy attempt to control the information we see and believe.

Yet, here we are. Having to understand exactly how the media spoon-feeds us fraudulent information to manipulate our thinking.

If you’re in the media and you can’t or won’t debate a group of people’s points on their merit? No problem! Thankfully, you have scams like Hamilton 68 to give off the illusion of intelligence-driven information that proves they’re just all Russian bots! You don’t need to argue anything anymore, because you can just opt of the debate by claiming “Russian influence.”
