Listen to the video, but take particular notice of the last 2 or 3 minutes.

Of course they do.
It wouldn't surprise me if the MMU has a hand in it.

I have always taken it as read, (wrongly?) that this was the one of the primary functions of the MMU.
1/. Monitor everything coming out from all MSM and Social Media
2/. Get back with counter-claims/info/disinfo according to who is paying them for what message, although quite how this works, for example, when they are working for both the Tories and Labour party is anyones guess.
Although TM have clearly got a dedicated team posting/tweeting etc, with often one poster using multiple 'socks', it would not surprise me that these people are also 'getting the message out there' on other threads, for the political parties, pharmaceutical companies etc, at the same time.
Reading some of the posts, I also suspect that many are 'computer generated', based on key-words picked up by the monitoring software, as they often do not actually address posts directly.
I am sure however, that seeing how the whole operation works would be fascinating and CM has clearly built up a comprehensive and lucrative empire.

@TheWhiteWizard7 Oh, if you insist go to Portimão Court House. It's open every week day.

Caught this ‘discussion’ on the feed thing.
Good to know its not the ‘real files’. Thanks WizzyWizz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Flicking back through his tweets, I hadn’t appreciated quite how scripted most of them are and how many could have been computer generated, just picking up on key words.
There must surely be a disillusioned person out there who would be prepared to spill the beans about how the whole MMU system works if someone like Sonia Poulton were to ask them, isn’t there?
