A network of people manipulating social networks is not going to come out and reveal themselves. Though we do have Correct the Record coming out saying they are "messaging" and we know they've spent $10 million. Where do you think that money went? What do you think messaging is? How is it by definition not paid shilling? You just had to be on some of the reddits during the election season and you could literally see the tone change when the weekend would end. We know the Clinton campaign did engage in a strategy of manipulating media attention (see Wikileaks). We don't know CTR is manipulating social media but we have a lot of reasons to suspect so. At some point the burden of proof is on you.
