Now we'd like to introduce a new segment on this program. We're going to call it Troll Watch. Since the 2016 presidential campaign, we've seen how social media can be used to amplify a fringe cause, hype up tensions over divisions that do exist or promulgate fake news, sometimes all at the same time. And it's not hard to find examples of this. With a simple Google search, you can find stories about how Russian trolls stoked skepticism about childhood vaccines, distracted from the Paul Manafort conviction and even organized a Black Lives Matter protest.

With the Internet, one can find a source to support whatever side of whatever argument they wish. The real problem is separating the truth from the fabrications. What we are seeing and experiencing appears to be a state supported Information Operations campaign to undermine the USA. We may never know how effective the campaign is or has been, we do know it is ongoing.

It’s working very well sir when they can get one of our main political parties filled with so much hate they will do anything to take down someone they don’t like. OK, maybe they didn’t cause all the hate, but they sure pushed it in the direction they want it to go. They weren’t able to do that with the other side during the last president’s term; there was some grumbling… but not the quest for bloodlust we see today.

One person's trolling, is another person's truth, is another person's fake news. We live in a Republic where all should be heard, even the people we disagree with. There is no way we can weed out foreigners without silencing some legitimate citizens. Our joint history mandates that all are heard. Unfortunately the possibility to silence one's enemies is just too strong for some in our country.

By your standards three quarters of our Congress needs to be in jail... and that's no joke, sadly.

Thank you for your half-assed attempt at a reply with absolutely no facts or sources to justify what could only maybe sorta kinda maybe come almost close to what amounts to a claim???

MAJ (Join to see) - Sir, what facts or sources did you provide. When one is discussing a topic so subjective, it is the ideas that will be judged against one another. I will attribute your comment to having a bad evening, and give it all the thought it deserves… :)
Good Morning Sir!

Indeed, SFC.
I need to step away from RallyPoint .
And my rant wasn’t directed at you.
