This has been happening since 2008 (and probably even earlier). Why do we only mention all of these Russian trolls when it could potentially help a candidate/politician you dislike?
When Obama ran in 2008, the trolls were out in full force. Most people didn't care and many tech outlets wrote about how this somehow made Obama and his campaign tech geniuses.
I'm just tried of the political bias of the mainstream media and magazines like Rolling Stone.
- berniepebbles 7y agoI’m just tired of the political bias of the mainstream media and magazines like Rolling Stone. ——- I’m frustrated by the mask of objectivity many media outlets wear when they actually have an obvious political agenda. Being unbiased is nearly impossible. Media companies curate topics to focus on and ignore. They hire individuals who agree with their views, etc. It’s ok for Rolling Stone, or the New York Times, to lean left. However, it’s not ok to lean left and pretend to not have a political agenda. We need more decentralized biased opinions and the courage to wear your politics on your sleeve.
