Something I noticed on my husband’s Twitter feed during the election was misinformation spread among the black population. The Trayvon Martin case was used to shore up the black vote. The black female in Louisiana who set herself on fire and blamed the Klan was another. I saw numerous black athletes retweet incorrect inflammatory information. Someone who knows how to push their buttons deliberately set out to manipulate them.
I found a server that had a bunch of SEIU sites on it and a bunch of fake news sites that were spreading false information about the Trayvon case and then asking people to show up to rallies and get people out to register to vote.
Of course all these brand new sites were ranking just fine in Google with no backlinks etc...
interesting times we live in.
