Social media in the 2016 election

[GMDino]

As long as there are ways to make the public think something is true it will happen.

I'd bet your salary that years ago (and less) there were "fake" letters to the editor in the newspapers.  And I know there were/are fake callers to the radio talk shows.  People who were/are paid to ask a leading question so a topic can be forwarded.

As I say, there is nothing new under the sun.

I don't like it.  And, to me, if a person has more Twitter followers than another that means nothing (to me) as far as their opinions.
