Those such as the news aggregator Al.com or other local Alabama media as they keep up a steady drumbeat against Senator Tuberville (R,Al), keep in mind they are preparing the information space for his opponent in his next election cycle.
My bet is it will be a rematch between Tuberville and Doug Jones. Doug Jones. As you may vaguely recall, Doug Jones was elected as a Senator to represent Alabama in an election that was tainted by the use of fake Russian bots. As you read the links below, note how everybody was careful not to use “Democrats”. The use of the fake Russian bots was by nobody. Doug Jones was outraged. Alabama Democrats said they knew nothing about it. The claim by democrat operatives it was not intentional. There was no investigation, no penalties, no one paid a price, Nobody Knew nothing. It was just quietly acknowledged and swept into the memory hole.
”This was a disinformation campaign that really resembled some of the tactics that were used by the Russians in 2016 involving fake Facebook messages. Twitter was used as well. And the idea was to undermine the support for Roy Moore and to bolster the support for Doug Jones using social media in a way that was, frankly, quite deceptive.“
”A secret effort to influence the 2017 Senate election in Alabama used tactics inspired by Russian disinformation teams, including the creation of fake accounts to deliver misleading messages on Facebook to hundreds of thousands of voters to help elect Democrat Doug Jones in the deeply red state, according to a document obtained by The Washington Post.“
