Yes Trump used social media masterfully to get his message out. In fact he did it so well that he forced the left to unmask and start censoring people.

The fact is that as peoples faith in the media wanes, they are turning to social media pundits for news and opinions.

Mark my words, we are not far from these social media people from demanding press passes. They will probably get them too.

The Biden admin is using them to get their propaganda out to as many people as they can. It's not dumb. It's smart of them. It will help him in the polls.
 
What's a TikTok Star?

Mark my words, they won't ask for press passes nor would they get them if they asked. They are clearly a PR assets. The difference is that all that virtually all Russian State TV is PR masquerading as news...sort of like Fox on steroids.

You keep telling yourself that nonsense. It's not a coincidence that all the pundits on all the same progressive networks use the same exact language to regurgitate the same talking points every day. It is all very orchestrated and coordinated. The spin masters are hard at work on both sides of the aisle and now social media is being incorporated into it's instrumentation.

Evidenced by the efforts of one Donald J Trump
 
Threw out a few likes purely for making me laugh, but we should not be here either.

Assuming this is entirely accurate as being reported it speaks volumes as to how far we have degraded as a society, and in a blistering fit of irony Democrats are literally weaponizing social media just as their counterparts did.

Sorry for decorum in these forums with this but... it is ****ing stupid that a President needs "Tiktok stars" to save a horrible approval rating.

That is not what Biden is trying to do. He is trying to defeat a sophisticated Russian public relations effort that literally owns all media in Russia, He is looking for a means to counter unscrupulous loons like Tucker Carlson who's nonsense regarding Putin's War is picked up and mainlined right into Russian State Media as a way to try to convince people in Russia that a significant number of Americans support Putin's mass murder and criminal war. The sad part of this story is that there ARE ANY Americans that support it.
 
The propaganda war intensifies...

Nothing suggests that the Tiktok participants think of themselves as anything more than PR. So NOOOOO, they won't be asking for press passes. It's just silly and frivolous to even pose the question. Now if they worked for Fox they might or if they were in Russian media they might.

The good news is young people dont vote. And dont influence anyone beyond their own dumb selves. People who matter dont use tiktok or beleive what govt propaganda some 18 yr old repeats.

So while this just reinforces how manipulative our politicians are, it doesnt change minds or solve problems.
