The Daily Wire has a coordinated network of 13 feeder pages on Facebook, which combined with their 4 main verified Facebook pages has a combined audience of 15,895,329 followers per post.
I have no idea how this doesn't violate TOS but it's not a secret.
DW is also still running a "doorway page" - a black hat SEO tactic that funnels traffic thru an intermediary website back to their main website to manipulate Google search. The URL on this DW feeder FB page is a doorway page that links to all DW articles. socialreport.com/insights/artic…
🙄 he ran facebook ads
New DW headline claims: "GoFundMe Shuts Down Account" but his account and the campaign are still online. I guess "The organizer disabled new donations to this fundraiser" is not clickbaity enough.

I don’t want to throw every PR person under the disinfo bus but I have questions as to how prevalent shady PR campaigns are in the industry as a whole.
A lot of people are salty about the Intercept's piece on the Riot Squad so I put the link in ahrefs backlink checker to see who has linked back to it. Daily Caller, Pajamas Media, VDare, Natural News, angry right wing blogs and... this odd coupon website. allcoupons.org/proud-right-wi…
I have no idea what this is or why there are news links in the coupons. One of the coupons linked to a "Proud Right Winger" Facebook page that is no longer online. Another links to proud right winger dot com so I went there.
I used the Crowdtangle Chrome extension to see where this lovely website is being shared. Crowdtangle shows shares going back a few years but I went to these 2 top referral pages to start.
So I had a very odd experience on Twitter dot com today. If you've followed me awhile you're probably familiar with the robotexts I get for "Jenean Lapriola." I had a long thread w/ screenshots; they were all sent from fake phone numbers.
Well that thread died a death today. 😂
I've been on Twitter for 12 years and have never once been locked out of my account.
Twitter made me delete the tweets for "posting private information" 😂 There are a few tweets left online:
So the 2014 @TheAtlantic article by @MattiFriedman that @AP said was "filled with distortions, half-truths and inaccuracies" has now been cited in a variety of right-wing media and blogs, some of which are receiving massive diffusion on social media.
47K are from Ted Cruz who posted it with the text "When the corporate media literally shares office space with Hamas terrorists, should anyone be surprised that they report anti-Israel & anti-America propaganda?"
2. The Blaze: 20,192 Facebook interactions
They cited Matti Friedman in the lede (included in screenshot)
This is the retweet network for 17,763 tweets from the past 48 hours containing AP + Hamas. The @AP node looks like it's being stretched because many people are mentioning the account. Larger labels are accounts w/ popular tweets. Some tweets are supporting AP others are... not.
The claim Posobiec tweeted which also made the Daily Fail today references a 2014 article by @MattiFriedman that's circulating again this week. What was not widely circulated was @AP's response that said the 2014 piece was "filled with distortions, half-truths and inaccuracies."
Eylon Levy also tweeted the 2014 story, among other things. Also included in the top left quadrant is @adamjohnsonNYC dragging @brianstelter after Stelter asked @SallyBuzbee about the 2014 report in an interview live on CNN yesterday.
Prison Planet saved a few of the Ricky Vaughn memes in a blog where he said there was zero evidence anyone was tricked into not voting. 🙃 Here's an archive so you don't have to click on Prison Planet: web.archive.org/web/2018081923…
