        Also. People finally talking about social media manipulation—but media got manipulated big time. Avoiding the topic.https://twitter.com/thegrugq/status/926999497497968641 …

        I highly recommend the book, "Trust Me, I'm Lying" about injecting fake news into the mainstream media. It's surprisingly easy to do.

        It’s easy to do when the mainstream media is willingly duped. See George W. Bush and Iraq.

        Next year there will be studies that show people shouldn't 'feed the trolls.' It's the kind of disconnect that drove Trump into office.

        Say this 5x: RT & SPUTNIK ARE NOT FAKE NEWS, RT & SPUTNIK...give them a little credit a lot of reputable mainstream journalists work there.

        To what extent is this new, and to what extent has it always been this way but online communication lets us trace it back for the 1st time?
