We already know the government and military hire people and use software to post comments in their support online. ("U.S. Gov‘t Software Creates ’Fake People’ to Spread Message via Social Networking", "Military report: Secretly recruit or hire bloggers"). Doesn't that seem like lying and propaganda? False support in hopes to sway peoples decisions?
I wonder how they will quash certain truths, like the fact that Obama has us engaged in an ILLEGAL war with Libya. And what makes them think people will listen to this new white house shill blogger anyway?
Two immediate assumptions come to mind, they will focus on the tea party and namely "birthers". What what form will their defense come in? Blog posts directed at specific writings rumors or allegations? Comments posted to the sites themselves? Removal of these posts by the government because they deem them untrue? How many times does the government have to lie to us before people will realize, they cannot be trusted? :)
