It isn't fake news that Russia wanted to influence the US election, but it is fake news that they have proof of Russian meddling in the election to any meaningful degree that they are willing to share with the public. The difference between us and you, is that we don't jump to conclusions about the former existing just because the latter was the case.
That bolded part I absolutely agree with you on, particularly the "to any meaningful degree" bit. Their level of influence in the election is basicly whatever RT and Sputnik news churned out. Hacking a political party's data was serious, sure, but Hillary was already an unpopular candidate before the leak. A lotof the actual fake news stories that got retweeted and shared during the election, wasn't Russian IIRC, but Romanian. It's a cottage industry, apparantly and the motive for sending out those stories were purely economically motivated by those Romanian teens wanting to make several thousands of bucks off of ads for their fake news sites.

Last part of your post's honestly confusing, though. You're not sure that Russia wanted to influence the US election, because it is fake news that achieved it "to any meaningful degree"? :think: Shouldn't it be the other way around?
Fame is not flattery. Respect is not agreement.

Feminists in Stockholm are leaving areas like the notorious migrant-heavy no-go zones of Husby and Tensta because they say religious fundamentalists now rule those suburbs.
Nalin Pekgul is a self-described feminist and former member of parliament for the left wing Swedish Social Democrats. For over 30 years, she lived in the Stockholm suburb of Tensta but says that she no longer feels safe there. She claims Muslim fundamentalists have taken over and she doesn’t feel she can visit the centre of Tensta without being harassed, Swedish broadcaster SVT reports.

According to Ms. Pekgul, the situation for women in public life in the area has deteriorated over the past several years. She noted that there has been a rise in religious fundamentalism amongst the men in the area, many of whom come from migrant backgrounds. Pekgul attempted to combat the trend by organising coffee shop meetings but soon abandoned the idea.

Unfortunately for you StA, the writer is a white American dude living now in San Francisco, not a muslim happily living in Finland (using a pseudonym):

Although have to say, the book did have to tone done the earlier book cover, which I find hilarious:

His name is German for black man so it's kind of a parody of himself when he went to Finland and got rejected 90% of the time with shitty pick up lines. That's pretty much the book apparently.
