One of the things that people say they like about the campaigns of candidates like Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders is that they seemingly say exactly what they’re thinking and they don’t follow the advice of well paid political consultants.
What’s wrong with well paid political consultants, you ask? Well, they often don’t seem to understand politics very well, for one. Nowhere is this more apparent than a pro-Hillary Clinton Super PAC’s decision to spend $1 million to “correct” misinformation about their favored candidate on Reddit and Facebook.
As The Daily Beast reports, the pro-Clinton Super PAC Correct the Record “is pledging to spend $1 million to “push back against” users on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit and Instagram.” The project claims that it has already “addressed more than 5,000 people that have personally attacked Hillary Clinton on Twitter” and it’s going to do a lot more of this on other social networks.
Dear God. There really aren’t words to describe how much of a bone-headed move this is… but I’m going to try.
