    Xenophobic, fact free conspiracy theory propaganda from Neocons who think they are part of the left. Absolutely disgusting that people believe this and ignore the fact that the DNC and corporate media rigged the 2016 primaries against Sanders to make sure we don’t get healthcare or a living wage, but most of all to protect their special interests.

    This is another example of the worst kind of election interference. The most one sided liberal media abuse of people's intelligence. You wonder why no one votes in the polls. Why should they? There's only one poll that matters it's November 3rd. This series is so one sided it insults anyone that that doesn't believe like you want to manipulate. People are hip to this.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Neocon propaganda to use Russia as a scapegoat for every time the Democrats lose power and influence in the White House. There's no doubt that these Russian troll farms exist but Neo Libs overstate their influence in order to pin every win from the Republicans and Trump on Russia/Putin instead of actually self reflecting on their own shortcomings, as well as the failures of Neo Liberal policies. You'd think they'd learn their lesson after the 2016 election but it seems they're doomed to repeat history. Hollywood/mainstream media has been in full on McCarthy 2.0 mode post 2016 and has been pumping out the anti-Russian propaganda non-stop since then. It's rich that these people accuse a foreign power of influencing US elections and politics when this has been America's foreign policy since the past 60 years. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. I'm somebody who is a VERY anti-Trump and anti-Putin individual, and also very left leaning as well, but when I see how narcissistic and trapped in their own Ivory Tower the neo-liberal establishment is, it doesn't shock me that Trump got elected.… Expand

    I wonder whom they will blame the next time he wins. Aliens? Oh, no, wait, I know. The latest baddies: China!

    While Agents of Chaos may not come to any concrete conclusions about Russian interference in the 2016 election, it makes a pretty damning case that the Russians definitely had some influence, and that US intelligence officials were slow on the uptake in fighting it.

    Agents of Chaos dispels enough smoke to give viewers a clearer picture than most will have seen before of what our country is facing. It isn’t always artful. The reenactments can be silly. But as a work of investigative and explanatory journalism built to penetrate the same left-vs.-right media bubbles it laments, Gibney’s documentary is a revelation.

    With dozens of key players, it’s all too easy to get a bit lost in the weeds. But for as much research as Gibney and company clearly did in order to build the series on firm ground, in the absence of any rock solid answers, “Agents of Chaos” ends up drawing frustratingly simplistic connections between its more fascinating themes.
