Some weak-ass trolling up in this thread. “No, THEY’RE TEH sheeple!” is a fairly lame response.
While it’s true that many pranksters and activists have trolled the media, in order to point out the failings of their journalistic rigour or whatevz, the difference here is (like the mainstream media have naturally harboured and supported for years), here we see the same kind of manipulation but with an agenda beyond making sub-editors look bad. It’s bad enough when its coming from billionaires, but at least they have some kind of vested interest in the smooth running of a society that they are parasitizing. The alt-right shitfarmers, on the other hand, have nothing to lose - or couldn’t recognise it, if they tried.
