My entire post was about "in your face", hard evidence that these companies were conspiring to attack Greenwald and others.

Anyone proclaiming there are no paid shills posting on DU . . . . . Divernan Jul 2013 #23

Skinner is in complete denial on the shill problem. backscatter712 Jul 2013 #93
I think he's said "Trash Thread" and "Ignore" are the ways he's given us KoKo Jul 2013 #97
AS opposed to actually getting rid of the ProSHILLS that stink this place up... truebrit71 Jul 2013 #98
Yep. Using ignore just allows the shills to continue to pollute the site. backscatter712 Jul 2013 #100
Indeed.. truebrit71 Jul 2013 #102
