The late Michael Hastings talks about 'covering' Obama and more
The bias of reporters and news organizations is well known and it even permeates their comment sections of their news stories. Some sites are moderated, but all have a group of trolls. The battle for the political narrative will be won at any cost by the left. These trolls, which I call Obamabots, have THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of posts. Their disqus accounts are almost always locked for privacy so you cannot see the followers and who they are following. These Obamabots are easy to spot.
At McClatchy News the 2 most active members are responsible for 8 percent of the total posts. The usual MO is to target the conservative poster as a 'teabagger'. The usual argument style is to deflect and project. The up arrows or likes also show who liked or up voted the posts.
Trolls travel in packs and appear to use sockpuppet accounts too. These 2 I call McClatchy Muppets. Using a hyperlink to source or a youtube video to prove your point is reported as 'spam' and the leftist moderator deletes your comment. If they complain enough, you will be banned. If you comment on and post similar screenshots, you will be banned. Here is an old thread that shows the one sided 'moderated' comment section. Is it Syria or Obama? GOP turning anti-war
Posts appear as new comments (time stamp), and the Obamabots posts will already be liked or voted up already. The frequency to which that happens is worth noting when commenting or replying on an article. It is usually wise to not feed the trolls.

Each website is infested with trolls and sockpuppets. . The Hill is no exception. The Obamabots there go by a few different names, but Dumbfuckistan and Francis are the most prolific, and lame. .
The discredited Dumbfuckistan was a subject of a previous blog.
The Left Attacks Gun Rights Fast & Fuhrer-iously
The subject of the article usually indicates a possible origin of the troll. The Obamabots main mission is to never have the subject about Obama. The teaparty is the main target of the online propaganda machine. Obamabots like SPAMISTAN use limited propaganda techniques. The repetition of their disinformation is key to controlling the narrative. Never accept their false premises in a debate. It is the most common technique. It will start with 'So what you are really saying' Control the narrative. "You aren't that good with your propaganda thing, are you, Spamistan…" — BoogieFinger http://disq.us/8f3qvc
