According to the Mueller indictments, Russian-backed groups used social media to meddle in the 2016 election. Some of that information was unwittingly shared online by some Americans, and an intrepid reporter from CNN was on it — and by “on it” we mean “harassing a woman at her home”:

Really, CNN?
How about you track down Michael Moore at his house and ask him why he participated in a Russian-organized Trump protest? You can even make a documentary about it, like Roger and Me. https://t.co/qLT0d1MLlB

Great question! Also, CNN triggered an avalanche of backlash for that report that’s supposed to pass for “journalism” in 2018:
Despicable: CNN hunts down an ordinary citizen at home, accusing her of aiding Russia because she promoted an event on FB that Mueller says Russians organized.
Go ask Michael Moore why he did that. Ask Joy Reid why Russian bots RT her so much. Challenge power. This is bullying https://t.co/pLbRGRuS4I

This lady rightly puts this CNN reporter in his place. “GTFO,” is her main message. Maybe she should show up at CNN HQ and ask why they covered a Kremlin-sponsored rally in NYC. https://t.co/x9NCAxAWsI

Why do this? Will you also go find people who participated in the pro-Hillary rally organized by Russians? https://t.co/8kdauQajeq

Why do Americans hate and distrust the media? This is why. https://t.co/ZRWjc8mkdw

CNN tracks down random people, accuses them of being Russian dupes because they were members of a Facebook group, and then acts flabbergasted that there’s animosity toward the media https://t.co/9GtgCX55oU
