I've often wondered why anything posted online by foreign owned media isn't considered "interference by a foreign power." The Russian thing was primarily social media, yet we see foreign "meddling" online all the time. As an example, the British parliament held a vote to ban Trump before he was elected...that and the reporting on it got far more mileage than anything the Russians did. Given that the internet isn't contained within territorial boundaries, this line of attack should be abandoned alltogether.
