This article credibly summarizes and presents the findings of a study. Critics of it seem to be unpersuaded by the study’s conclusions but that is not the fault of the article.

It looks like Russian bots were at work trying to discredit this article on Credder!

The two title lines and a third within the article reveal the illogical, speculative and ultimately contradictory nature of the piece. To wit: "New study shows Russian propaganda may really have helped Trump" "The study does not prove Russian interference swung the election to Trump." "The researchers found to their surprise that the Russian propaganda did not drive down Democrat Hillary Clinton's popularity, even though much of it was aimed at discrediting her. One factor may have been that the target audience was mostly right-wing media consumers who already disliked Clinton." The writer relies almost on pure supposition to spin a credulous tale. While the source (NBC News) is credible the article ultimately is not.
