Mike Cernovich is driving the social media news, not Mercer.

As opposed to the army of Soros-bots (aka the lamestream media) spewing fake news to take down the American republic.

There is no way Trump has that many fake Twitter followers, because he won a national election with little advertising broadcast to the general population. Twitter was his main vehicle for communicating with people.

There is no way Trump has that many fake Twitter followers,...I dunno. They posted a screen shot of all nine of them in the article. /s

i don’t bother reading any of the fabricated “news” in the NYDN, because everything they publish is fabricated. The NYDN is nothing put a a Demo/Progressive/Kommie propaganda rag. People would be substantially more informed if they read the National Enquirer instead.

>Mercer was originally a huge backer of Ted Cruz.
Mercer was behind Trump’s big data targeted ad campaign on face book. It was a huge success that the media never even knew about until after Trump won.

What happened to Russian interference? It seems as if the Leftists are trying to define any effort on Trump’s behalf as sinister. They just can’t understand that the average American agrees with Trump.

Mercer has been backing conservative causes for years. Him working with Trump is a good thing.
To: canalabamian
experts have told the Daily NewsThis right here. This is why journalists are seen as trustworthy as terrorists and child rapists.

Never said it wasn't. But before he backed Trump he was an anti-Trumper backing Ted Cruz through Glenn Beck.
To: lewislynn
Mercer has a long history of supporting conservative causes. He’s good.

This is fake news, its the democrats who use a bot army. They pay ShareBlue(aka shariablue) to astroturf for them. This means create the false impression of grassroots support. Trump doesn’t need to fake this. He has more grassroots support than any politician in the world.

"You can bet that if a commie/socialist/democrat makes and accusation its because they are already doing it. " You think this might be a call for someone with money to waste it on a bunch of bots rather than a complaint about copycats?

You think this might be a call for someone with money to waste it on a bunch of bots rather than a complaint about copycats? My point was how disingenuous the article is. Google analytics and astroturf were pioneered by dems. They are and have been most deeply connected to, and supported by tech companies and Silicon Valley.

So it wasn’t the Russians. It was Skynet. /S

Dumb knee jerk reply, this has nothing to do with your post. It was on my screen as my mind wandered around looking vainly for an idea, forgive me.
