Facebook Vice President of Ads Slams 'Main Media Narrative' of Russian Interference   Timothy Meads  Posted: Feb 17, 2018

Facebook Vice President of Ads Slams 'Main Media Narrative' of Russian Interference

Facebook’s Vice President of Ads, Rob Goldman, tweeted
last night his excitement in the charges brought forth by
the FBI against Russian actors who attempted to influence
the 2016 presidential election. Goldman also trashed the
media's coverage of Russian interference, asserting that
many are intentionally ignoring key facts in order to fit the
“main media narrative of Trump and the election.”

Yesterday, Special counsel Robert Mueller indicted 13
Russian nationals for “interfering in the U.S. election
process. In a detailed 37-page report, the FBI explains how
the defendants used false identities to stage political
protests, rallies, and recruit Americans in their conspiracy,”
as noted by Cortney. Deputy Attorney General Rod
Rosenstein emphasized that no American knew they were
“communicating with Russians.”

After those statements, Goldman took to Twitter to explain
Facebook’s role in the ongoing investigation. He pointed
out a glaring fact that most anti-Trumpers refuse to accept
- a majority of the Russian interference via Facebook
occurred after the election and swaying the outcome of the
presidential race was not the main goal.
