4. WASHINGTON POST...

In my regular media monitoring, there seemed to be a glut of anti-Biden news. I cut back my viewing of these. Also in Washington Post, the comments, which are usually quite positive with few trolls, were filled with what looked like negative AI comments calling for President Biden to drop out. They were all very similar in structure. They started out extolling how much they LOVED BIDEN, BUT...
They filled in their reasoning for calling for him to drop out, but they were short and not very convincing.

It was demoralizing so I quit reading them, but came back the next day to counter them and call out trolls.

Then I read a detailed poll that said very very few people after the debate had changed their minds over who to support!

We have got to question the mainstream media and trolls, cause this appeared to be a concerted effort at disinformation. I had only seen this happen before the 2016 election.
Very scary! Learn how to spot this and block comments and call it out.
