DIS (in more ways than one) - information age.

You create a world without credible information, and then you try to make decisions based on a vacuum of information. We live in the Information Age, it's ironic, isn't it?

And it's more easily manipulated than ever. Just go to Google News. Click the Politics tab. You'll see a link to Hillary stories and a link to Trump stories. Flip back and forth between links. Look at the tone and tenor of the stories for each candidate.

Google consistently links to stories derisive of Trump and stories that are pro-Hillary and they've been doing it consistently. There's always one or two links that are pro-Trump and against Hillary, but Google consistently links to stories boosting her candidacy.

Do it on a PC or Mac, it won't show on a mobile browser.

Everything in Trumpworld is rigged.

If Trump loses, you can blame it on Google.

Oh sure, it's all a scam...Donald being bat crap crazy has absolutely nothing to do with it. The man has all the impulse control of an 3 year old. My apologies to all the 3 year olds out there. And it's all the "paid trolls" fault the poor widdle Donnie is feeling persecuted.

She won't be. The emails coming out now just confirm everything trump as said. Now, liberals don't have the ethical or moral thinking to be able to understand what her emails really mean. That she is and always had been corrupt and could care less about the common person.

They are however swaying those that were in the fence for trump.

There's one sure-fire way to spot the paid trolls on City Data.

They will all go silent after November 8th, when the money dries up.

Of course, the UNPAID trolls will still be here, but they can be easily recognized, too.

They are the ones who constantly spam the Politics and Other Controversy forum with new threads, usually containing a link to a 'reputable' non-MSM source, and often cross-posted with other spammer posts citing the same link or using the exact wording.
