Seems the MSM wants to do for Hillary what they did for Obama
ClintonRecords.Org: For almost a year now, media outlets and news sites have given massive exposure to the Super PAC “Ready for Hillary.” This type of coverage helped the group raise money over the past twelve months and to secure commitments from donors, elected officials and Dem leaders to declare that they are Ready for Hillary.
Reports have noted that the movement has many Facebook likes and Twitter followers. Indeed, as of today morning, the Facebook page boasts 1.76 million likes and its Twitter page has more than 124K followers. But here is the true story: The Super PAC posted only four videos on its You Tube page since its founding. This means fans and followers don’t exactly get inundated with videos to grow tired from them, yet the group’s latest video has less than 6,200 views despite the fact that the video is online since early March.
This begs the question: Where are all the 1.7M Facebook likers and 124,000 Twitter followers? Where are all the fans clamoring to see what else the Ready for Hillary effort has to offer? If only one poor percent of Facebook fans clicked on the video, it would have had 17K views but as of this writing the video does not even have half this amount and produced only 8 comments.
The Ready for Hillary campaign follows almost 97K people on Twitter so to have in return less than 125K followers shows true weakness. In fact, Twitter savvy folks know that the more people an account follows, the more followers the account is likely to have. This tactic skipped the mind of Politico’s Byron Tau who wrote last year March that ”in a few short weeks, [Ready for Hillary] has collected almost 60,000 Twitter followers and more than 55,000 Facebook fans — and that’s before the website’s official launch.”
The poor YouTube showings prove that the Ready for Hillary “movement” is just a hot-air balloon inflated by Hillary-loving media folks. As noted above, this type of media coverage helped the group raise money and to enlist key players, which in turn raise more money, but there is no real fan-like support for a Hillary run. It’s merely people clicking Like or Follow as a response to media hype.
