Speaker 1: A couple of days ago, President Trump tweeted, the fake
Speaker 1: media is working so hard trying to get me, not
Speaker 1: the youth social media they hate, that I can get
Speaker 1: the honest, unfiltered message out. At the Daily Press briefing,
Speaker 1: Shawn Spicer was asked about the tweet. Spicer said that
Speaker 1: Trump is the most effective messenger of his agenda and
Speaker 1: has about undred and ten million followers on social media.
Speaker 1: The Washington Post ran a snarky article. They said, no,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump does not have one million people following him
Speaker 1: on social media. They claim that Trump only has ninety
Speaker 1: three million followers, while admitting not all social media sites
Speaker 1: released their figures. The Post then said, even if Spicer's
Speaker 1: numbers are right, he would still be wrong, first because
Speaker 1: many people have multiple social media accounts, and second, some
Speaker 1: followers on social media sites are robots or bots? Man?
Speaker 1: Is that fascinating to discredit President Trump? The Washington Post
Speaker 1: finally admits that social media sites like Twitter are impacted
Speaker 1: by fake followers robots, algorithms designed to make one or
Speaker 1: two people look like thousands. These bots are a favorite
Speaker 1: tool of leftist activists. They use them to pressure advertisers
Speaker 1: when boycotting conservative shows. They also use them to make
Speaker 1: liberal causes seem much more popular than they really are.
Speaker 1: But until now, the drive by media has never seen
Speaker 1: fit to expose them. It's curious, isn't it. I tell
Speaker 1: you Trump has them upside down and backwards and forwards
