The Internet has a great power today. "Whoever controls the media, controls the mind" - Jim Morrison. Today it is 'whoever controls the Internet, controls all the minds'
Do we have analogues? I mean except NSA, of course.

So where does an article like,this leave one? Could it be that USMB is just a sham populated by foreign and domestic trolls seeking to either bend opinion or derail any productive discussion, or even worse stop any worthwhile discussion from being started. There are times when things seem that way. Or is this just more,hyperbole and sensationalism? Do we even know this is true or is this a troll writing the article?How is one even supposed to know?

Maybe we need to start passing out some Good Housekeeping Seals of Approval.
