So is the Gang of Four getting any more love here lately?
I mean Eric Garland, John Schindler, Louise and Claude.
The reason I ask is that Garland has just published a thread on an analytical study he did called GRINGO11. The report, which is not published in its entirety for reasons that should become obvious, tracks deza publications, along with troll and bot attacks, along with a wealth of background information on the originators and interconnections of the attack sources. He mentions the "Gang of Four" specifically as targets of such attacks. He put the attacks on a timeline that is based on "bad news for Trump" news stories. Guess what pattern emerged?
He says democracy isn't toast yet, but we need the Fairness Doctrine back ASAP.
