That's exactly what the US does to it's own citizens. This is done every time you hit 'Like' on the internet. And also through political surveys. Particularly associated with the DNC. This is how they craft candidates for you. The news helps create issues of concern, then they survey, then your candidate is created and marketed to you.
Except we are talking about Russians.
Sucks that our country does it to itself.
Still undeniable that Russia interfered in the election.
