Since May 2017, 533,074 web articles have been published about Russia and Trump/Mueller, generating 245 million interactions — including likes, comments and shares — on Twitter and Facebook, according to data from social-media analytics company NewsWhip.  [Emphasis, ours.]
[One would imagine that most of the chattering would have been negative towards and critical of the President.  This situation shows all the signs of a massive echo chamber in which the echo serves as  verification for those within the chamber.]
