This recent Rachel Maddow piece should be reported on, as many of the true breaking news pieces of recent weeks. It explores, factually the evolving story of hacking by the Russians into our past elections using social media
It goes into a very new capability & scantily reported story of how computer bots have been used to invade the Twitter & Facebook world & clandestinely troll twitter entries for certain words. Then these bots send out fake news stories or other negative content to change, whitewash or destroy the narrative of the truth.
It is a must listen if the future of social media is of any concern to you or the outcome of elections & other important functions of our society.
It is not a soundbite…rather it is based on in-depth investigative reporting, which we find almost non-existent today. For the link to Rachel Maddow click here.
