For those who are concerned about Russian influence in elections through things like "Fake News", here is something else for you to be concerned about: the Russians don't just influence only one side or political party. Their goal in doing these things is not to favor a particular political candidate over another so much as to create dissension and disunity within a country which they may further exploit in the future. In doing this, they target any and all potential extreme ideologies in a country regardless of politics, religion, nationalistic sentiments (or lack thereof), ethnic groups, minorities, etc. and they generally try to play them off of each other.
It is a very real possibility that some of the left-leaning "Fake News" sites from the list in the OP have roots in Russia.
