Paul Krugman on Professional Trolls

Wherein he correctly argues that professional trolls go well beyond those created by FOX news.

Jerry Wolfgang, any comment?

    I guess "professional" ain't what it used to be.

    Robert, have you banned anyone?

    I would guess no, based on how many of Jerry's great insights make it to the comments of your posts. I thank you too....he's so funny!!!

    Yet another difference between Krugman and Wenzel: the former bans trolls (or anyone who regularly disagrees with his brilliant musings) whereas the latter allows them to post away, no matter how consistently ignorant they show themselves to be.

      A-F'n MEN!

      If JWolf could defend his moronic posts then this would be better.

      Amen, Chris.

      While Bob has never banned (authentic) trolls, Krugman always band anyone who points out his failures.

      I'm glad RW allows anon postings- something Krug hates.

      I'm so glad the bullshit Krugman spews is starting to cover his masters- Bernanke, Obama, LaGarde...

      Our government is fucked, and thank god Krugman constantly exposes how fucked it is (even though his intent is the opposite!)

    Please don't ban JWolfie!

    His inane and vapid replies just prove damaging government schooling really is!

    If he would engage replies, or try to defend his defense of the government he wouldn't prove to be the best troll ever!

    comments? Thanks for asking. I think one can safely assume that Fox News isn’t the only organization employing sock puppets. Some commenters on various blogs, including this one, are pretty obviously professional trolls.
