In reply to the discussion: Even Russian human rights body finds Crimean referendum falsified [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)32. Amazing what one guy with a couple or more internet devices can do!
And if he's got a friend or a hundred, or even more, doing the same thing, a lot of sleazy and cheesy "opinion" can get shopped around.
I hope they get paid well; I think engaging in that kind of shit is worse than prostitution. "RT" on an individual level--they probably need a long shower after the workday ends.
It'll fail, though, if they can't keep their personas straight! All that hard work, flushed down the pan...they'll have to start all over. Hope MIRT is on the case!
