Many trolls here work for David Brock's propaganda companies (ethics, legal, accuse)

[PilgrimsProgress]

Their job is to disillusion Trump supporters by pretending to be one of them. Here is just one page of a script they were using a few months ago to give you an idea. There have been others. They get paid pennies per post. Often use bots which are one line comments very general often with little relevance to the thread or news story.

I am reading the excellent book by real journalist Sharyl Attkisson, “The Smear: How Shady Political Operatives and Fake News Control What You See, What You Think and How You Vote” which is how I learned about David Brock, a Democrat operative paid to disseminate propaganda. He used to work for the Republicans doing the same thing. Evidently he is loyal to whoever pays him and Dems pay him a lot. That is why his shell companies can afford to pay thousands of trolls, many who post here as well as other forums and comments sections on news sites, to spout anti Trump and anti conservative propaganda. Did you know these propaganda tactics and smear techniques were perfected by the Nazis? Funny how the Loony Left always calls anyone pro-Trump a Nazi, huh? If there is one thing I learned in the past year it’s that whatever Dems accuse someone of doing, it’s because they are doing it. Deflection!

Here is a list of Brock’s companies. The same donors spread their money around to several of them instead of plopping one big one with one company. Looks less suspicious:

Last I heard Brock was being investigated by the IRS for owing at least a million dollars in back taxes.

David Brock's book Blinded by the Right is what partially convinced me to change political allegiance back in the day. Media Matters is a great resource exposing all the lies in the right wing media, they have a bunch of people watching Fox Noise so you don't have to. Great organization.

Thanks for the list, I'll check them out too

Yes, I am definitely paid big money to waste my time on here.

You hate Trump. You must be getting paid!

See how that works?



This is why I hate everybody. Make more money that way.

Are the first and second posters on this thread talking about the same thing? One says Brock is serving the left and complaining and the other says he agrees, but that it's all good.

It would seem pointless to pay anyone to post anti-conservative messages, as there's more than 200 million people in this country, who strongly feel that way and would contribute for free.

Boy am I ever missing out on the gravy train.

Yes, many are. It's completely obvious when two different posters post almost the exact same thing verbatim. They have an answer file so to speak. Talking points and such that they are instructed to use for various topics. It's how the lies and propaganda start to take hold.

Well we did just find out TV Trump surrogates are being paid by his campaign money to defend him on TV.

It's precisely how Trump got elected.

Who do I apply to? I could use the money right now.
