WASHINGTON -- U.S. Sen. Mark Warner warned Monday night that Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election may have permanently undermined the faith Americans have in civil discourse and democracy. .... The two-term senator made his remarks in the keynote speech at the Toner Prize for Excellence in Political Reporting, a journalism award sponsored by SU's S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications.
A series of prominent political figures have given the keynote address at the annual event, including Ohio Gov. John Kasich last year, Barack Obama in 2016, Hillary Clinton in 2015 and Joe Biden in 2014. ... Kasich and Obama warned in the previous speeches about threats against journalism and American democracy, but Warner offered perhaps the most severe assessment.
Warner said that after months of investigating on the Senate Intelligence Committee, he realized "that if a hostile intelligence organization had to develop an ideal vehicle for information warfare from scratch, they may very well have built the kind of social media ecosystem that we all live in" ... "This proliferation of misinformation is beyond what I think most policy makers and most of you in this room fully realize," Warner said. "The national security threat that it poses targets the very heart of our democracy and our society."
