I've been away from ET a long time now, spending time on countless other message boards a lot bigger than this one. Internet chats and message boards are INFESTED with government paid shills and dis-informants. They are always muddying the water, defending government, big banks, wars etc. EliteTrader site is small so I doubt there are more than 2-3 here. Man by name of Ricter to name one. This is becoming a serious problem clogging the internet. There is a war being waged.
If someone is actually paying Ricter for the drunken nonsense he posts on here, then they are getting ripped off big time.
I think he is on to something. I don't know aobut richter, he seems to just be someone who absorbed the socialist indoctrination we all experienced in school to an acute degree. Every election season, a couple of argumentative liberals full of each day's campaign talking points seem to pop up here. Coincidence? Doubtful, particularly since they invariably vanish soon after the election.
You should see how bad the comment section is down at mediaite.com, any time there is a nergative article on Hillary someone will come on there and vehemently deny all of her wrong doing, and its usually written up in long drawn up 10 paragraph posts almost like a news article, not like a typical internet poster. Then you look through their history and the only posts they make is in defense of Hillary, no one loves a candidate enough to put that much time in only to rebut someone who writes a 45 word critique of Hillary on the internet. I think that there is definitely paid shills on sites like that but they make themselves obvious through their writing, i doubt anyone here is though, if anything alot of the liberals who post here would only serve to further embarass the democratic party.
Ty ty. But where's my check? I saw the same kind of thing over at conservativesforum.com, regarding Palin.
Yeah but thats "Conservativeforum.com" a forum that is supposed to be dedicated to conservatives, which i have no clue why you would even be there to begin with, id expect the people at media matters to be controlling their comment section especially with the fact that its 99-1 liberals, i wouldnt expect that kind of thing from a bipartisan site like mediaite.
May not be paid shills, but AI robots. US PsyOps probably already doing this online to shape opinion. Drink coke. Hillary is great. etc. http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/sep/12/artificial-intelligence-data-journalism-media https://www.theverge.com/2015/1/29/7939067/ap-journalism-automation-robots-financial-reporting
