Teenagers In Macedonia Launch Fake Pro-Trump Sites To Earn Money
« on: November 06, 2016, 03:51:45 am »
I'm sure you recognize a lot of the website names, if not the stories they pushed.  They were all tracked back to a group of Eastern European teenagers.

Quote
....."In Macedonia the economy is very weak and teenagers are not allowed to work, so we need to find creative ways to make some money," one 17-year-old told BuzzFeed News, which reports on a "strange hub" of over 140 political sites, all being run in the same small town in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
These sites have American-sounding domain names such as WorldPoliticus.com, TrumpVision365.com, USConservativeToday.com, DonaldTrumpNews.co, and USADailyPolitics.com. They almost all publish aggressively pro-Trump content aimed at conservatives and Trump supporters in the U.S... The young Macedonians who run these sites say they don't care about Donald Trump.....

@Meshuge Mikey figured out at least a week ago on Facebook that some of these shills were in Serbia or Macedonia.

That a small bunch of Teens from Macedonia was able to dupe JR and several thousand Freepers is a hoot.

The Coup de Grace on this Punk would be if each of them changed their screen names from their present ones to Peggy No. 1, to Peggy No 140.

They fooled millions of Americans.

The sad thing is that those millions will continue to treat those of us who weren't fooled, like traitors.

I don't recognize any of those particular website names, but have noticed pro-Trump folks posting a lot of articles on Facebook from "news" sites I never heard of with nearly hysterical headlines. Needless to say, it's not risking a virus or worse to click on them. I'm not that curious!

A fool and his money are soon parted.

Which is good, as a fool with money is dangerous.
