Nothing new there.
The Conservative party in Britain have hordes of tame bloggers. They write for the Daily Mail, the Guardian, the Sun, the Express, the Times, and nearly all of the rest.

Putin's just an amateur.
While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.

Big deal. In other news: Rain gets you wet.

Politicians have been manipulating information via the internet for years, and a whole heap of them are leaders of democratic governments. Have a look at the Wikipedia, for example. Entries concerning themselves have been edited thousands of times by their collaborators, public servants and even themselves "to correct unbalanced views" in the UK, in the USA, in Australia and undoubtedly in most other countries regardless of the type of government they are ruled under.

I'd be really surprised, though, if it was discovered one day that governments ran institutions that conduct indiscriminate surveillance programs on any and all of its own citizens simply because they can.

Is not! He is one of the NSA's sleepers. Probably coordinates chemtrail attacks too.

No, wait. Chemtrails are RESiNATE's department.

Still. Let's keep things in perspective. Compared to our resident chief lolbertardian and Dunning-Kruger posterboy both of them are quite sane.

Well, as per my post pointing the way to the thread on RatSkep about web bots & disinfo agents ( http://www.rationalskepticism.org/consp ... 20699.html ) there are different bloggers; the paid professionals who spend several hours per day on it, volunteers, and finally the useful idiots.

I put Galaxian into the useful idiot category, since they already have plenty of AI bots & disinfo agents, some on forums such as this, writing letters to newspapers, posting crap on YouTube, doing phone-ins, etc. So Galaxian is certainly merely a useful idiot :zilla:
