    This is a non-story btw

    Some random person jumped the gun over a Craigslist ad paying someone to advertise their brand at the rally.

    If you’re gonna criticize Trump and show how pathetic he is, at the very least don’t make stuff up

    “That there was a craigslist ad” is evidence of absolutely nothing. Let’s review that headline:

    • Election commissioner Yup.
    • presents evidence Nope.
    • that Trump Nope.
    • caught Nope.
    • paying people to attend rally Yup.

    So the somehow more accurate headline reads:

    Election commissioner ‘paying people to attend rally’

    This article is bullshit propaganda. And before you cry foul, check my comment history. We should all demand accurate journalism about everything, and call it out when it’s bullshit.

      Propaganda news articles on Lemmy? shocked Pikachu

      There’s pieces of shit on all sides. Of course, pieces of shit would never consider themselves pieces of shit. But being active in smear wars is a good indicator, whether politics, consoles, social issues, etc.

    The Trump campaign paid a contractor who then hired a subcontractor, Extra Mile Casting, to provide services at the 16 June 2015 rally where Donald Trump announced he would run for U.S. president.

    He’s been using actors since Day One.
