in the quest to get more people to see the danger of the war Putin is waging, and Biff's complicity.
It seems to me this is the kind of story that would get the attention of conservatives...the ones who loudly proclaim their undying support of the military (with the ribbons on their cars/trucks)...the ones who give zero shits about the many stories of immorality and corruption swirling around this administration.
It would raise their awareness of the Kremlin's attacks AND Biff's support of these tactics.

Russian hackers posed as IS to threaten military wives
PARIS (AP) Army wife Angela Ricketts was soaking in a bubble bath in her Colorado home, leafing through a memoir, when a message appeared on her iPhone:
Dear Angela! it said. Bloody Valentines Day!
We know everything about you, your husband and your children, the Facebook message continued, claiming that the hackers operating under the flag of Islamic State militants had penetrated her computer and her phone. Were much closer than you can even imagine.
Ricketts was one of five military wives who received death threats from the self-styled CyberCaliphate on the morning of Feb. 10, 2015. The warnings led to days of anguished media coverage of Islamic State militants online reach.
Except it wasnt IS.
The Associated Press has found evidence that the women were targeted not by jihadists but by the same Russian hacking group that intervened in the American election and exposed the emails of Hillary Clintons presidential campaign chairman, John Podesta.

(22,920 posts)Its mortifying to realize this is happening (and I do believe they set the agenda for Biff rather than vice versa).
This is the kind of story that could wake some people up re: Trump-Russia, and if Fox would cover it, it could give a few GOP members courage to start DOING something about the ongoing attacks.
