This past week,
Conway actually had the balls to refer to a "massacre" inside the US that never
actually happened, in a lame attempt to create support for the administration's
immigration ban.
And the Internets are having a complete field day, as
this image posted to Twitter suggests:
Facebook users are creating fake pages
mimicking the site's public security features to proclaim they're "safe" in the
wake of the fictitious calamity.
Let's say for a minute that Conway and Spicer really are playing to Soviet-era
Russian strategy. The state of technology was not as it is today, with answers
available on demand in handheld devices. Conway, Spicer, and others (oh there will
be others) representing the Trump Administration have the attention of everybody
on the Web. Their biggest problems here are trolling and fact checking —
two of the Internet's favorite passtimes. Trolls live for this kind of stuff.
The Trump Administration isn't providing information — they're providing
entertainment. And by providing entertainment, they're inviting even more
attention and scrutiny.
