A poster on Twitter, upon seeing what he thought were very similar posts referencing MSNBC host Rachel Maddow's show, did some searching and found out that Maddow has been using phony twitter accounts to boost her "mentions" on the popular website.
As can be seen by screenshots collected by a tweeter named @LeftyBollocks, Maddow has massive amount of accounts posting the exact same claim that "Confession: I yell at my TV while watching Rachel #Maddow talk about filibuster reform in the same way most people do during football."
With so many supposedly unique accounts mentioning her name, the term #Maddow has quickly risen to the top of trending topics on twitter-something @LeftyBollocks found odd since her show has so few viewers.
Thanks for hitting the ping list! I wonder how she will weasel out of this one? My guess: “MSNBC pays for promotional yada yada yada...just like every other yada yada yada...I had no control yada yada yada”
Before the sex change operation ? What a shame.
What a lesbo! Er..I mean Manbo...er...nevermind
Sounds like a potential Newsbusters story, PJ, Wonder if the DUmmies will rush to their guy’s defense.

How long does it take to set up enough accounts to effect the numbers? It seems like you could do that all day and it would be a drop in the bucket. Do they automate it?
Agreed.

She looks pretty in that picture.
Laz would make a real woman of her.
You mean pretty much like a man.
“Twitter-turfing” ?
In all fairness, since we understand the word and the left doesn’t, it could be an employee or employee’s doing that without her knowledge. Heck it could be her boss.

Sigh... NBC was more enjoyable back when they only secretly planted explosives in pickup trucks to show how dangerous side gas tanks are.

Ha, Mark Levin just tweeted on this, it’s bubbling all the way to the top of the VRWC.
Fellow dykes give that strapodicktomite street cred.
Seriously, would any decent, rational, intelligent male give that man-wannabe a second look? Other than to say, ‘make sure you check the windshield wiper fluid and air in the tires’.
