"Correct the Record" is an organization set up by David Brock (Jimmy Comet's ex-bf) to go after 'fake news' using paid trolls / shills to visit open comments sections to newspapers and open message boards like this one.
Noticed since yesterday a few are showing up. They have a number of tactics: Posting outlandish stories to make the entire effort seem wacko; sliding topics that are harmful to their cause (downvoting); igniting flame wars using personal attacks (this was done in person at Trump rallies) to drive out participants; concern trollings - posting as if sympathetic to the cause but pointing out the uselessness of participating ("the game is rigged; we should just stay home and not vote at all i guess'); associating the cause with fringe groups (KKK, Nazi Party); labeling what we are researching as a fraud or 'fake news'; and many other tactics all aimed at killing the free speech taking place here.
CTR spent millions during the Trump election to flood boards posting stuff like that. They also took down Bernie doing the same thing. They actually created "Bernie Bros" to go and harass people on message boards so Bernie would be guilty by association or 'not condemning his sexist supporters.' All manufactured, Astroturf, truly fake news.

I got banned from T_D...I kept reporting assholes that were following me around badgering me to post proof of the KP I saw on Twitter..I was polite at first, then fuck it I started reporting them...they were asking/demanding I do something illegal...which would get T_D deleted...they were not banned. I get banned for saying Moslems were animals (re what's happening in europe). Yeah..
