another unhinged democratic socialist who attempts to execute those he disagrees with politically. this one’s a calorie-hoarding, pocahantas warren (D) campaign contributor/supporter. this little fella daniel frisiello is similar to james t hodgkinson (D) the avowed democratic socialist and barnie sanders campaign worker/supporter that shot politicians who were practicing for a chairty event

There are members of both sides that do this, but its MUCH more common among Democrats

I blame the media for degenerating the discourse with fowl motives

Before I posted about an odd observation, that Yahoo's articles are all heavily bot voted with "neutral" as the chosen option. invalidating any legitimate "like" or "dislike" choices.

it now appears that yahoo is under siege by some right wing group, be it bots or actual users (a combo i believe). yahoo has historically had a HARD left bias, near huffpost levels in original content and much of their content is just an onramp to huppost itself. the users have always trended far left.

scroll down to the comment section, every post in the top range is pro-trump anti yahoo posts. they use a system where posts that are upvoted are raised to the top. so it appears that the same bots that are bombarding the ratings system are also being used to upvote right winged posts. look at the vote totals. something like 600+ and 200- on right winged posts. which i take to mean 200 people and 600 bot votes.

consider me officially a conspiracy theorist on this one folks.

Martin Shkreli was sentenced to seven years in prison on Friday for defrauding investors out of more than $10 million.

Shkreli, who gained notoriety for inflating the price of a life-saving drug, had faced up to 20 years behind bars for mismanaging money at his hedge funds.

He was convicted on August 5, 2017 of securities fraud and conspiracy in what prosecutors said amounted to a Ponzi scheme. Shkreli called the charges "a witch hunt of epic proportions."

During his sentencing on Friday in Brooklyn federal court, Shkreli, 34, broke into tears and pleaded with the judge for leniency.

"I look back and I'm embarrassed and ashamed," he told the court. "I am terribly sorry," he said to his investors, "I lost your trust."

"There's no conspiracy to take down Martin Shkreli. I took down Martin Shkreli with my disgraceful and shameful actions."


At his trial last year, Shkreli often wore a smirk and was chastised by the judge for his behavior, including for an incident in which he told reporters that the prosecutors on the case were "junior varsity." He also ignored the advice of his lawyer by commenting on the trial via social media and YouTube.

Shkreli's lawyer Ben Brafman, told reporters on Friday he thought the prison sentence was too severe.

"I'm disappointed that the sentence wasn't less than seven years. But Martin's fine and he will be fine," he said.

doing a white out of left leaning media isnt their only theoretical goal. its just the only place i've seen it thusfar. as it has a ratings system on yahoo and other right wing platforms i look at dont have the same type.

what does making 70%+ of articles rated as "neutral" do? confuse people. it also screws with yahoos algorithms. they have their site set up to raise or lower articles based on those ratings, thats a reason its such an echo chamber. additionally far left comments are usually at the top.

i dont think its a targeted attack on yahoo persay, i think its just a tactic to confuse people, and its hitting yahoo hard.

russia is just my suspect #1, i wouldnt be surprised at all if it was a 400 lb kid. afterall all their doing is employing some system of IP hack bot which has thousands of pre-generated user accounts to influence the system more than the pool of users.

Man, when I was a kid i went outside and played baseball or football, chased after girls and tried to get my hands on booze and cigs.

Kids now a days are trying to cause an existentialist crisis by manipulating Yahoo voting algorithms from their parents basement.

Fuck.
