the us senate intelligence committee says the voting in the two thousand and sixteen presidential election was not affected by alleged russian meddling however the senators did allege that russia use social media platforms as a tool to influence voters earlier three internet tech companies were summoned to work with the senate to help determine whether these ads were generated by foreign entities. we think it's important. that the three companies that we've invited google twitter and facebook will appear in a public hearing so that americans can begin to hear both about how we're going to protect i would argue three areas one making sure that if you see an ad that appears on a social media site then americans can know whether the source of that ad was generated by foreign entities patrick henningsen the executive editor of twenty first century wired dot com says the latest move by google against our t.v. sets an alarming precedent. this is very dangerous because this is now government and corporations colluding to decide what information the public is allowed to see and what information it

the stores attracted a small of us senate intelligence committee says voting in the twenty sixteen presidential election that was not affected by russian meddling. we can certify. that no vote totals were affected but the pallies are accurate the outcome of the election based upon the commode. they did not in any way shape or form that we've been able to find and alter that from there we heard members of the senate intelligence committee say that they believe that russia was currently in the process of trying to create chaos in the u.s. elections and they talked about social media the vice chairman of the committee who is mark webber he went on to say that social media platforms were not taking the threat of alleged russian meddling seriously enough facebook recently turned over three thousand ads that they say were russia linked over one hundred thousand dollars worth of advertisements that were bought between the years of two thousand and fifteen and twenty seventeen other social media giant revealed that most of the views that these ads received were accumulated after the election took place

about this offer that i mentioned when they had a private briefing with members of the us senate intelligence committee and again they never mentioned that offer so we'll see what happens when there's in the public domain so let's see if they do mention it if they are going to talk they're going to talk we'll see if thank you that was combat well earlier we discussed this twitter ban with legal and media and this line who told us that is just an attempt to distract from of an embarrassing revelations this is a deliberate move to get everybody off of what's happening right now to the hillary clinton f.b.i. investigation everybody's favorite now let me get this straight r.t.d. buys an ad or ads ok like the world does what did these ads do did they survive the election did they cause or were they evidence of or in d.c. of colucci what pray tell did these ads are complex they made americans think and maybe caused curiosity dissension perhaps that was the collusion so that's a great move for freedom of speech way to go twitter it's disgusting. well the moves against r.t. were described as a witch hunt by th

not to accept now when twitter's management took part in a private briefing with the us senate intelligence committee they never mentioned the special offer to r t or at any other point as a spokesperson for the committee told reporters are editor in chief thinks it's not that simple when it comes to how twitter is dealing with u.s. officials honestly i didn't believe the twitter was controlled by american security services it looked like a conspiracy theory to me but twitter has just confessed it's a pity especially because american news outlets operating in russia will now feel the tenderness of russian tit for tat measures in the bird. witter will publicly testify before the u.s. congress while the tech giant mentioned their special offer this time once again i want to stress that we declined it and then a year later twitter published confidential data on how much we spend on ads as i've mentioned that was a much smaller saw compared to their business proposal less than three hundred thousand dollars now they banned ads even though it was twitter that once suggested we can use their platform to ge

senate intelligence committee. gregg jarrett, thank you, sir. there is speculation rising over whether president obama will exit the iran deal. we'll take that and much more straight ahead. stay with usll question, do you think the senate should be investigating dems and not russian collusion? 98% of you say yes. mercedes. the president suggesting the senate intelligence committee started investigating fake news rather than collusion since they can't finds anything over what is it about 23 months of investigation. >> and lots of witness, 100,000 documents. lots of money involved in this investigation and nothing truthful has come from it. we should look at this fake news. it's a real problem. we have a media expert who will talk about his responsibilities as a media professional who is out there. you have to promulgate the truth. they are the watch dogs of america. if they are fake news you have to drill down on it and say exactly what you have the responsibility to do, do it correctly and tell the truth to the american public. >> what you are asking is journalists work for fake news organizations, they absolute "washington post," the "new york times." nbc news. the list could get qu

used. quickly after that report, the senate intelligence committee said they would be interested in learning about that. you get the sense they are wrapping up loose threads. host: republican line. caller: hello. guest: good morning. caller: good morning. i used to be a democrat. i was so happy i did not vote at of during the second term obama because it had been newspersonrough a that in fact obama is so good of an actor he fooled a lot of people come and the greenwashing is still going on. the fact that comey did not handle the hillary matters, that was real important to us, and now i believe the republicans are being crucified by that, not only the news media and the stars, but all the attorneys up, they arespoken part of the problem. we have some money attorneys. goal when they go into politics is to continue to get their greedy money. i have met many attorneys. in the state of south carolina, it is true that they are absolutely outrageous. there are not many republicans ever on tv. some of them are on cable news, on cnn, all over the place, and their goal is to get that greedy money. i
