Local reporters have infiltrated a covert organization that hired young people as “Internet operators” near St. Petersburg and discovered that the employees are being paid to write pro-Kremlin postings and comments on the Internet, smearing opposition leader Alexei Navalny and U.S. politics and culture.

According to Lvova, each commenter was to write no less than 100 comments a day, while people in the other room were to write four postings a day, which then went to the other employees whose job was to post them on social networks as widely as possible.

~”Kinda like the White House, huh?”
except this was published in a major nation paper in Russia.
You think the WaPo or NYT would publish something like that on Obama?~
I just thought about the same thing.
At least one, he actually posts from Russia.
It’s been obvious to me for years. The Anchorage Daily News has more posters from San Francisco than from Alaska, and the webmaster there knows it. Why ADN? To destroy Palin in utero and they haven’t let up much.
I was pretty sure those were the FReeper moles Obama was talking about when he said “the new conservative darling is none other than Vladimir Putin.”
Possibly so!
I must be on their payroll too, as I support both Putin on Syria, and I oppose President Obama on just about everything he does.

What does any of that have to do with the criminal Russian invasion and conquest of the Ukrainian territories in blatant violation of 86 years of international law?
Second thread this evening where I’ve seen you play the victim. Give it a rest, already.
You have been paid for 15 years? Man, that is some good job security these days!
I really don’t know if I ever called you a troll. Most of the ones I fuss at are the people who get on the birth certificate threads and act like anyone who questions “the won’s” history is crazy.
many get room and board Im told.......
Actually we just read "Between Shades of Gray," so not really.
What was the other one?>p>I’m not victim.
All these guys post at Zero Hedge, for sure. What a playpen.
If you want me to look it up, I will. It’s not a big deal unless you say it is.
Some of them probably signed onto FR
lol....I wondered the same thing.
Imagine posting in favor of a Russian invasion of a sovereign country
It is very possible to oppose both tyrants
