A lot of random blue checks on Twitter are journalists.
- wnevets 5y agoIf they're journalists then are they really internet trolls?
- whimsicalism 5y agoLarge numbers of journalists and/or pundits are internet trolls
- bluefirebrand 5y agoDepends. I'd say that Clickbait is an evolution of internet trolling, chasing engagement with outrageous claims. So in that regard, yes absolutely many online journalists are internet trolls.
- wnevets 5y agoThat doesn't sound like what the parent comment [1] was talking about. There are some fairly obvious differences between people post political garbage on social media all day and those who are looking to drive traffic to their website that serves ads.
