We've seen (and tweeted about) a lot of what we call "newsbots" - automated Twitter accounts that link the content of a given set of news organizations. Some don't exactly have the best taste in source material and so it is with @pr0udwhite, followed by 11.5K.

The media menu served up by @pr0udwhite consists of a variety of right-wing conspiracy sites (Infowars, ZeroHedge), anti-immigrant sites (Voice of Europe etc as well as German far-right political party AfD), and RT. AfD is a major theme of the account's content in general.
The operator of @pr0udwhite initially posted at least some organic content, but over time has increasingly left it on autopilot; only one of the most recent 3200 tweets was posted manually. The Facebook group linked from the profile has either been removed or set to private.
