Non issue. Happens ALL the time in the twitter world. Millions of fake accounts out there being used to generate “social signals” for the search engines.

It’s still dishonorable and embarrassing when a media figure like Rach gets caught in the act. Well, in that act, that is.

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?

It's an issue.

If it wasn't an issue Maddow wouldn't bother being a fake... You know that.

She's counting on people believing her lies - believing Twitter lies... It's like all the dem trolls - and their rent-a-crowd tactics. They hire people off Craig's List to 'protest' too. One lie after another. All meant to trick their own supporters. Yeah, we know they're lying. Who do you think Maddow's 'target' is? It's the liberal idiots who dems always play for fools.

It's all a lie - and Dem paid shills are liars too.

If everyone was as cynical - or knowledgeable as you are tenger - Rachel and dems wouldn't spend a dime pushing the liars they have to pay for... You don't think she makes all these posts do you? She pays the same lowlife trolls the rest of the dems pay. Dems do this because they're trying to play citizens for fools. That's how little respect they have for everyday citizens.

You know that, right? Dems don't pay trolls for nothing...right?

but twitter busts and/or shuts down othes who do this. Will she have a free pass because she has selected to live the life of a recreational sex fetish exhibitionist?

judging by those who responded to you, they don’t really understand this. Newt had something like 300,000 fake followers and it warranted a mention and some mockery, but that was it.

30 bots tweeting the same dumb thing? Wholly and completely ineffectual on any level. And really, as reprehensible as she is, the idea of her sitting around creating a few fake Twitter accounts is absurd.
