This is an absolute BOMBSHELL and needs more coverage: VP of Facebook Ads, Rob Goldman says majority of Russian ads were AFTER THE ELECTION and calls out the Mainstream Media for not covering it.

Facebook vice president of advertising Rob Goldman slammed the media, on Twitter, for their misleading coverage of Russia’s meddling in American politics.

“Very excited to see the Mueller indictment today. We shared Russian ads with Congress, Mueller and the American people to help the public understand how the Russians abused our system. Still, there are keys facts about the Russian actions that are still not well understood”

“Most of the coverage of Russian meddling involves their attempt to effect the outcome of the 2016 US election. I have seen all of the Russian ads and I can say very definitively that swaying the election was *NOT* the main goal”

“The majority of the Russian ad spend happened AFTER the election. We shared that fact, but very few outlets have covered it because it doesn’t align with the main media narrative of Trump and the election”
