Exposed: Russian troll farm that sends paid trolls to sites like Huffpo, Politico & ???

This explains a lot.

I am a regular user of the website Experience Project, where members can join or create "experience groups" of like-minded folks.

For example, one of the largest EP groups is "I am a Democrat"

EP also has a Q & A section, with 13 different categories, including "Politics"

Shortly after Russia's incursion into eastern Ukraine earlier this year, I noticed that there were a lot of "pro-Putin" questions being asked, such as .'Who loves Vladimir Putin?" and "Who would win fight between Putin & Obama?"

These pro-Putin questions were being asked by brand new EP members, not by members who had been on EP for years, which is a dead giveaway that they were "trolls"

Within the past month or so, there has been a drop-off in the number of such pro-Putin questions, probably because of the Ebola outbreak and the coming Congressional elections.

Of course, Russia isn't the only "troll Farm" on EP, (and probably other sites as well)

As the pro-Putin questions have decreased, the anti-Obama, anti-Democrat, & Anti-liberal questions have increased, mostly asked by obvious GOP trolls.

So, IMO, the Republican Party has been operating a "paid troll farm" on EP, & other sites as well, that is much bigger than the Russian troll farm, and probably has much more money with which to pay the GOP trolls to bad mouth Obama & the Democrats, most likely from GOP slush funds set up by people like Karl Rove & the Koch Brothers.
