Like amplify the false rumor a random Facebook mom in Ohio started?
You're pointing at a thing our own politicians and billionaires are currently doing and going "What if Russia did it too".
Understanding that the media amplifies particular stories to promote a perspective that is in their interest and against your own doesn't require the addition of a foreign power, that just muddies the issue.

That year, CNN, Fox, and others spent billions influencing Americans.
Why do you think there is only one Russian troll farm?
That is only what got caught.
Not like Russia is going to release numbers. At least in America, companies are forced to publicise those them.
