"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 decided to join you all here because fullchan pizzagate threads are getting shilled pretty bad. I don't usually mind shills, it's fun and interesting to watch their tactics, but last night someone posted a particularly crude Abramovitch pic at the start of a new pg thread with no comment and I feel I need a break from unmoderated digging. I'm not usually one to get triggered but digging this criminal enterprise is taking its toll I guess.
Here is an infographic that is purported to be a leak of a CTR slack chat. This was before the election, so quite some time ago. http://i.sli.mg/9pirFk These fucks are cut from the very same cloth as the perps we're investigating.
