Rolling Stone Claims #ReleaseTheMemo Popularity Due to Russian Bots

If you have been on Twitter recently then you know the red hot hashtag that is #ReleaseTheMemo. So why the popularity? Well, according to Rolling Stone, it is due in large part to the Russians. Yes, the Russians Are Coming to Twitter in the form of their bots to hype that hashtag. The subtitle of Rolling Stone's silly article by Bob Moser explains it: "Republicans claim a secret document reveals a Hillary Clinton plot 'worse than Watergate'– and they're getting a big boost from Russian bots." 

Therefore it is not really an authentic hashtag, or so Rolling Stone wants you to believe even though it is being posted at the rate of about one per second (and often several per second). Moser explains his Boris & Natasha bot fantasy in Release the Memo: What's the Conspiracy Behind the Right-Wing Meme?

Now Twitter will have to dig deeper when they find that it’s popular after killing the 1000+ accounts.

Twitter is manufactured reality which seems is what the left loves most of all.

Life often imitates fiction, but in this case real life is funnier.

Rolling Stone also claimed a young woman was gang raped at a frat at UVA. How did that work out for the morons at RS?
