1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: A couple of days ago, President Trump tweeted, the fake

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: media is working so hard trying to get me, not

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: the youth social media they hate, that I can get

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 1: the honest, unfiltered message out. At the Daily Press briefing,

5
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: Shawn Spicer was asked about the tweet. Spicer said that

6
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: Trump is the most effective messenger of his agenda and

7
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: has about undred and ten million followers on social media.

8
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 1: The Washington Post ran a snarky article. They said, no,

9
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: Donald Trump does not have one million people following him

10
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: on social media. They claim that Trump only has ninety

11
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: three million followers, while admitting not all social media sites

12
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,840
Speaker 1: released their figures. The Post then said, even if Spicer's

13
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: numbers are right, he would still be wrong, first because

14
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: many people have multiple social media accounts, and second, some

15
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 1: followers on social media sites are robots or bots? Man?

16
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: Is that fascinating to discredit President Trump? The Washington Post

17
00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: finally admits that social media sites like Twitter are impacted

18
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: by fake followers robots, algorithms designed to make one or

19
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: two people look like thousands. These bots are a favorite

20
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: tool of leftist activists. They use them to pressure advertisers

21
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 1: when boycotting conservative shows. They also use them to make

22
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: liberal causes seem much more popular than they really are.

23
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: But until now, the drive by media has never seen

24
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: fit to expose them. It's curious, isn't it. I tell

25
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: you Trump has them upside down and backwards and forwards

26
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,360
