(24,411 posts)Bottom line is...there aren't enough people who believe their insane, extremist bullshit! They have to pay employees at big PR firms to write commentary in the comment sections--to give the APPEARANCE that their crazy viewpoints are more popular than they actually are.
I'm guessing that 10-25 percent of the population adheres to a Fox News mentality. There will always be crazies.
But they conflate their perceived presence with PR tricks like this. This is why they don't win elections. Because, when it comes down to the numbers--the vast majority reject their insanity. This is also why they engage in rampant voter suppression and voter fraud. The only way they can win a Presidential election is by decreasing our numbers, because as they well know---they really don't have the numbers to win.
Such losers!!
I've noticed that planted comments are rampant on MSM news sites, such as ABC/CBS/NBC/CNN. This is where they really hit it hard. It's important for liberals to speak up and chime in on these comments sections. Appearances and perceptions really do matter. We have to speak out and speak the truth and challenge these fake-account personas. Otherwise, persuadable people are fooled into believing that extremist positions are normal and more popular than they really are.
Share your liberal views! It makes a difference!
