Internet Research Agency - NY Times - June 2, 2015

You'll want to read this article about professional internet trolls in Russia. I promise, it's worth the read.

Great read, and incredibly relevant.
During the FAI Wingsuit World Cup in Netheravon last week, a group of Russian "trolls" kept trying to take down the site. The PPC director spent most of the day watching the code, watching the Russian group attempt to take down the site. We couldn't figure out why such a small, obscure site would generate such attention. The article somewhat explains "why."

Thank you!

Last night I watched the news from Washington, the Capitol
The Russians escaped while we weren't watching them
Like Russians do
Now we've got all this bloom, we needn't got the room
And I hear the U.S.S.R will be open soon

As vacation land for lawyers in love

Thanks, bud.

Like when the only serious newscast (worth watching) is the "Daily Show?"

SAD!

In the US, we don't call it Internet Research Agency but Fox News.



Regardless of your political leaning, that was pure comedy!;)
