"Are you a paid Russian troll?" asks Wapo.

Since April, Russia has spent thousands of dollars amassing a “troll army” to torment American social networking and news sites, per a pair of stories that ran on Buzzfeed this week.

The trolls are, allegedly, legion. They’re foul-mouthed and irritable. They’re funded by an online marketing firm with very distant ties to the Kremlin. And they are, according to Buzzfeed, operating in the Post’s comment section — as well as the New York Times’, CNN’s and the Huffington Post’s.

Self-outing thread?

Interesting.

Can we have another poll for paid DNC trolls?

Those accusations never caught on in MSM, and for good reason.

It is interesting to note, however, that both WaPo and Buzzfeed have been in cahoots for nearly three years with their "The Russians are coming" cries.

Seems like a waste of money if any of it is actually true.

Soros trolls hate the Putin trolls.

I am not a paid Russian troll. If they have only paid "thousands", they probably can't afford me. To be able to afford me, it would have to be a budget that spends millions on their troll army.
