Great catch AB,the examiner appears to be the source doc.
heres a few clips from that:

Sharyl: “What areas of the Internet are used to shape and manipulate opinion?”

Matthew Brown: “Everywhere social. Everywhere social means specific Facebook pages, but it also means the com—, it means the comment sections in every major newspaper.”

He began investigating it after his criticism of the former president’s health insurance program posted on the Obamacare Facebook page. He was hit hard by digital activists pretending to be regular people.

“Digital activists are paid employees; their purpose is to attack anyone who’s posting something contrary to the view of the page owner wants expressed,” he told Attkisson.

She reports that he evaluated 226,000 pro-Obamacare posts made by 40,000 Facebook profiles.
.............
Brown: “Sixty percent of all the posts were made from 100 profiles, posting between the hours of 9 and 5 Pacific Time.”

Sharyl: “Which means what?”

Brown: “They were paid to post.”
He blamed so-called “zombie posts,” and explained them this way: “A zombie post is a fake, purchased, or rented Facebook profile that’s expressing the views of an organization as if it was his or her own. But, when in reality, the comment being expressed is done on software and written by generally one or two people. So, the zombie posts will go out on a schedule and then they are supported by zombie likes.”

Soros is funding the Trump opposition Party. Trump refuses to attend the rigged roast. The liberal media would use comments at the dinner for the rest of the year. Trump is wise to avoid these miserable, angry, hateful reporters.
The speech by Trump Tuesday night will include opposition present in the crowd. Democrats will work to rain on the Trump parade.
