NY Times - An army of well-paid trolls has tried to wreak havoc all around the Internet

13. I think many many commenters that we think are "white trash" Americans

Are actually Russians that have learned English, at least enough to type it somewhat passably. All those grammar and spelling mistakes may not be because they are inbred home schooled American idiots.

I am always appalled at how every news story that was/is about Trump or Clinton is littered with anti-Hillary, and pro-Trump comments in the comment section. When a few years ago it was overwhelmingly more liberal commenters. And the fact that more people of education, and means, have the internet at least in North America. And it is a fact that the more educated you are, the more liberal views you have. Add to that that Hillary won by more than 3 million, it shouldn't be 90% Hillary and Democrat bashing on these comment sections.

It gives a false impression of how many other deplorables are out there. And emboldens the few that do know how to use the internet feel that they have a majority viewpoint. And discourages anyone supporting more liberal views wading into the thread.
