That is so full of lies. #1. He bought a clearly marked ad on Twitter. Luminous Animal Oct 2015 #36

Not exactly, he paid to move his brand to the top of the heap. procon Oct 2015 #81

Except that isn't reality. TM99 Oct 2015 #90

Afraid to follow your own advice? procon Oct 2015 #103

Nice attempt to deflect and spin it back. TM99 Oct 2015 #104

Not a bad scheme if the point is to manipulate public perception. DCBob Oct 2015 #22

buying an ad which says #DebatewithBernie is unethical? virtualobserver Oct 2015 #26

The unethical part was fraudulently manipulating online polls to sway public opinion. DCBob Oct 2015 #38

how does #DebatewithBernie manipulate online polls? virtualobserver Oct 2015 #41

I believe his campaign used that to instruct followers to go to all the online polls.. DCBob Oct 2015 #46

you "believe" that, do you? virtualobserver Oct 2015 #56

Proof or just lies? TM99 Oct 2015 #92

WHAT!? #debatewithbernie is secret code? Luminous Animal Oct 2015 #112

It's a mind control conspiracy when a Jewish candidate buys an ad, you see Scootaloo Oct 2015 #100

Really. Buying an ad on twitter that is clearly marked as advertising is unethical? Luminous Animal Oct 2015 #28

The secret is out...now everyone knows the power of the #DebatewithBernie hashtag virtualobserver Oct 2015 #34

So. When you are watching TV and an ad comes on for Hillary, you find that Luminous Animal Oct 2015 #47

No.. not the point at all and I am sure you know that. DCBob Oct 2015 #48

It is an ad that is clearly marked as an ad. Any twitter user younger than 84 Luminous Animal Oct 2015 #61

No indication that it's an ad that I can see: ucrdem Oct 2015 #63

That is not a twitter hashtag, grandpa. Luminous Animal Oct 2015 #68

It's not marked as an ad, either. nt ucrdem Oct 2015 #74

Because what you posted is called a Tweet. TM99 Oct 2015 #93

Nice try. nt ucrdem Oct 2015 #135

There is no cure for ignorance. TM99 Oct 2015 #136

There's no indication that it's an ad: ucrdem Oct 2015 #65

That's just an image. winter is coming Oct 2015 #73

You can see what was posted at the WSJ link I posted above. Here it is again: ucrdem Oct 2015 #77

An image on the WSJ doesn't change the way Twitter does business. winter is coming Oct 2015 #79

It's not an image, it's an embedded tweet. And there's no indication that it's sponsored. nt ucrdem Oct 2015 #80

You're right; it's an embedded tweet... that's no longer being promoted. winter is coming Oct 2015 #82

No. Ads don't run continuously on your TV screen. procon Oct 2015 #94

They are not tricked. TM99 Oct 2015 #98

I just said that. procon Oct 2015 #105

Here is what you said. TM99 Oct 2015 #108

That's a different argument and I can't agree with your assertions. procon Oct 2015 #116

You are wrong. TM99 Oct 2015 #118

LOL. During election season, they're more or less continuous. winter is coming Oct 2015 #102

You understand it is a form of advertizing, don't you? artislife Oct 2015 #55

Advertising? Capt. Obvious Oct 2015 #59

It's not marked as an ad. ucrdem Oct 2015 #60

Maybe be I am younger artislife Oct 2015 #66

It's generally considered a deceptive practice to misrepresent sponsored online content. nt ucrdem Oct 2015 #67

Deceptive? I guess if you don't understand the online experience. artislife Oct 2015 #69

Oh we understand it. That's the point. nt ucrdem Oct 2015 #72

What is misrepresented? The hashtag was clearly marked as "promoted". People on twitter Luminous Animal Oct 2015 #126

There is no such indication and saying there is doesn't make it true. End of story. nt ucrdem Oct 2015 #133

It wasn't just a ordinary ad, was it? procon Oct 2015 #109

It's an ordinary Twitter ad riderinthestorm Oct 2015 #113

What's with name calling? procon Oct 2015 #121

Name calling?? Lol! riderinthestorm Oct 2015 #124

That's no different from ad banners on the top of webpages. winter is coming Oct 2015 #119

And they cost much more than other ads because that premium placement is more effective. procon Oct 2015 #123

And TV ads cost more during the Superbowl. winter is coming Oct 2015 #125

No it did not. TM99 Oct 2015 #120

His hashtag was the number one trend. procon Oct 2015 #128

Don't try to redefine my statement to suit your position. procon Oct 2015 #158

I don't see anything wrong with him doing it... Agschmid Oct 2015 #150

Why? For taking out an ad? Obama did it and I thought it was smart politics Luminous Animal Oct 2015 #160

and there is nothing wrong with him doing it. Because of Citizens United, it is the only way still_one Oct 2015 #152

The nicest possible interpretation is that Bernie! (r) is being marketed like toothpaste. ucrdem Oct 2015 #163

Um, no. As the article explained (and Obama did similar in 2012), it is to direct Luminous Animal Oct 2015 #166

"Bernie Sanders Makes Big Twitter Purchase"? ucrdem Oct 2015 #170

Yep. The same article that says, under Bernie's picture... Luminous Animal Oct 2015 #172

I don't remember Obama claiming to win a debate based on paid Twitter ads. nt ucrdem Oct 2015 #174

Is "Bernie Sanders Clearly Won The Democratic Debate -- On Twitter" a fabrication? ucrdem Oct 2015 #176

Really. Millennials are too smart to fall for an internet ad but too stupid Luminous Animal Oct 2015 #189

Twitter is where a lot of millenials get their news mythology Oct 2015 #168

The problem is that paid sponsorship and "word of mouth" aren't clearly distinguished. nt ucrdem Oct 2015 #173

If you are over 80 years old. And yes. If, the word "Promoted" with an arrow doesn't Luminous Animal Oct 2015 #177

No such arrow on Bernie's hashtag. Made up facts aren't facts, sorry. nt ucrdem Oct 2015 #178

Every paid advertising has the promoted arrow. Every single one. Luminous Animal Oct 2015 #179

Except when they don't. Thanks for the deep thoughts. nt ucrdem Oct 2015 #180

You banking on people's ignorance of the internet. You are 100% employing fox Luminous Animal Oct 2015 #182

That is sweet. But it is not up to the org buying the ad. Obama had no choice. Luminous Animal Oct 2015 #186

Bernie's hashtag can be seen in the embedded tweet I've posted 3x and there's NO arrow. Period. nt ucrdem Oct 2015 #187

Because the ad expired. It is a 24 hour ad. The campaign would have to pay 200,000 a day Luminous Animal Oct 2015 #190

The subject here is his hashtag. ucrdem Oct 2015 #191

His hashtag was #debatewithbernie The horrors. Luminous Animal Oct 2015 #198

He's also planning on buying some TV ads!.... Oh the Horror, The Horror Armstead Oct 2015 #185

No. moobu2 Oct 2015 #188

Politics is manipulating people to vote Armstead Oct 2015 #192

TV ads are very clearly identified as paid political ads. Tweets aren't. That the problem. nt ucrdem Oct 2015 #194

I really do not understand why you say this. Because they are clearly marked. Luminous Animal Oct 2015 #196

Possibly but in this universe none of your remarks are remotely relevant. nt ucrdem Oct 2015 #197
