"This is out of control and really important to listen to!!! Fuck NPR!!!
Anybody who supported Bernie, Jill Stein or Trump is supposedly a Russian troll or a troll farmer!"
Check this out folks, courtesy of Claudia Stauber, a brave and articulate citizen and author who is sounding the alarm. Trying to wake up her fellows, release them from the grip of liberaloid conformity and plain bullshit, treacherously disseminated by the zillions of upper middle class liberaloids sprinkled throughout the media apparatus, constantly reinforcing each other's ideological manure. Yea, NPR, the once respectable and godly radio channel beloved by so many Democrats and extremists of the center, is now demonstrably radioactive garbage. Incidentally, Morristown (Vermont) resident Claudia Stauber became politically active during Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign, and started a daily online talk show — “Cabin Talk” — to discuss the issues the country is facing.
Below, the radio podcast and a partial transcript of what Claudia is alerting us to, as Mary Louise Kelly, from NPR, deferentially interviews this political vermin, James Lankford, feeding him all the necessary leads so he can yada yada his misleading venom into the minds of clueless listeners.
Again, here's Claudia, in her own video, telling it like it is. Be sure to watch this first and then (if you want) listen to the NPR program, read the transcript and what not. By then you will be sufficiently immunised. Carry on, McDuff!

Russian Trolls Are Flooding Social Media With Messages Meant To Increase Tensions In U.S.
NPR's Mary Louise Kelly speaks with Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., about how Russian bots are still flooding social media, including fomenting American tension over the Florida school shootings, and what he thinks should be done about it.
MARY LOUISE KELLY, HOST:
The aftermath of a school shooting in Florida, NFL players taking a knee during the national anthem and the 2016 presidential election - these have all been targets of Russian internet trolls. Just hours after that Florida shooting last week, Russian bots got busy on social media posting pro-gun-rights messages, also posting pro-gun-control messages. It's the latest example of a phenomenon documented in special counsel Robert Mueller's indictment released on Friday of Russian trolls and bots working to deepen divisions in U.S. society. Oklahoma Republican Senator James Lankford has been talking about this since the NFL national anthem controversy last fall.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
JAMES LANKFORD: They were taking both sides of the argument this past weekend and pushing them out from their troll farms as much as they could to try to just raise the noise level in America and to make a big issue seem like an even bigger issue as they're trying to push divisiveness in the country.
KELLY: Senator Lankford predicted then that we would continue to see this happening, and we have. Senator Lankford sits on the intelligence committee, and he joins me now. Welcome to the program.
LANKFORD: Glad to be able to be with you today.
KELLY: I want to follow on something we just heard you say there in that tape from last fall. You said that the troll farms - Russian troll farms are working to try to just raise the noise level. Is that the goal? Do we know what Russia wants?
LANKFORD: What Russia seems to want is divisiveness everywhere else, and they try to get a competitive advantage by destabilizing every country around them. They've done it for years, and they've finally come here...
WOW! Be scared, folks, Very scared.
