If it looks like, smells like it, and feels like it, you probably shouldn't step in it.... and this whole mess is a large steaming pile. And by that, the fake news sites, the bots on Twatter and many forums, along with what the article mentioned should be included along with the likes of Google and Facebook's burying their heads about "fake news". Those last two, it's obvious, profit. Even the fake news sites are about profit. The rest of the steaming pile should still get looked at. There's been more manipulation and possible criminal activity in this election than I can recall including Watergate--- the granddaddy of them all in modern times.
The problem is, after any investigations by anyone, the politics will come into full play with blaming, denials, smirks, winks, nudges, and ultimately buried as nothing will be done as this type of thing will be the new status quo.
Being an "independent" (non party affiliated), I think it would be great if all sides could look at this objectively as if the charges are true, the next time, it could be the "other party" that gets the win... or even a 3rd party. As it is, why bother having an election if it's going to be manipulated for everyone's but the citizen's interest.
