[Tenacious 1]

Let’s talk about “trolling”. The MSM will call anything they don’t like to hear or for people to know as “trolling” (the way Time Magazine wants to define it). Was Dan Rather’s “false but accurate” story on Bush’s National Guard records “trolling”? Is the support of Black Lives Matter articles and coverage “trolling”?

Trolling (as I understand it) is distributing information with the intent of inciting some argument or response.

Pulling a bait or lure behind a boat to entice fish to eat it and be hooked. Same intent & effect.
