WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh June 8th, 2017

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.920
<v Speaker 1>A couple of days ago, President Trump tweeted, the fake

0:00:03.080 --> 0:00:05.720
<v Speaker 1>media is working so hard trying to get me, not

0:00:05.800 --> 0:00:08.360
<v Speaker 1>the youth social media they hate, that I can get

0:00:08.360 --> 0:00:11.959
<v Speaker 1>the honest, unfiltered message out. At the Daily Press briefing,

0:00:11.960 --> 0:00:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Shawn Spicer was asked about the tweet. Spicer said that

0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Trump is the most effective messenger of his agenda and

0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:21.200
<v Speaker 1>has about undred and ten million followers on social media.

0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:25.079
<v Speaker 1>The Washington Post ran a snarky article. They said, no,

0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump does not have one million people following him

0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:33.080
<v Speaker 1>on social media. They claim that Trump only has ninety

0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:37.360
<v Speaker 1>three million followers, while admitting not all social media sites

0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:40.840
<v Speaker 1>released their figures. The Post then said, even if Spicer's

0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:43.920
<v Speaker 1>numbers are right, he would still be wrong, first because

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:47.720
<v Speaker 1>many people have multiple social media accounts, and second, some

0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:51.880
<v Speaker 1>followers on social media sites are robots or bots? Man?

0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:55.720
<v Speaker 1>Is that fascinating to discredit President Trump? The Washington Post

0:00:55.800 --> 0:01:00.600
<v Speaker 1>finally admits that social media sites like Twitter are impacted

0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:04.959
<v Speaker 1>by fake followers robots, algorithms designed to make one or

0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:08.720
<v Speaker 1>two people look like thousands. These bots are a favorite

0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:12.720
<v Speaker 1>tool of leftist activists. They use them to pressure advertisers

0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:16.759
<v Speaker 1>when boycotting conservative shows. They also use them to make

0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:20.000
<v Speaker 1>liberal causes seem much more popular than they really are.

0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:23.320
<v Speaker 1>But until now, the drive by media has never seen

0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:27.160
<v Speaker 1>fit to expose them. It's curious, isn't it. I tell

0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:30.400
<v Speaker 1>you Trump has them upside down and backwards and forwards

0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:36.360
