It looks like the "real" reporters and "serious" journalists have cried "Russia" so often they now believe everything is tied to Russia.
Sunday on CNN's so-called Reliable Sources, the panel engaged in a panic session over memes. Yes, memes. It didn't take long to reason that memes were a form of voter suppression and nothing more than more pawns in another attempt by Russia to rig our elections.
Guest host John Avlon brought in New York Times "journalist" Taylor Lorenz to discuss her piece entitled, "Meme Wars" and introduced her by saying, "And this, for folks who don’t know, is the new, new thing that's going to be really driving a lot of narratives and conversation and voter suppression efforts to some extent in this upcoming election."
Lorenz quickly followed suit, claiming, "Well, memes use humor to introduce new ideas and often these ideas can be very insidious and problematic. Memes in 2016 were used throughout Facebook to spread misinformation. So, you know, basically Russian interference."
