All the attention on the Nunes memo goes back two weeks, even more.And there are questions about whether some of that attention, at least on social media,has been coming from real users, or whether it's being ginned up artificially. William Brangham has more.In the days leading up to the release of that controversial Nunes memo,there was a hashtag on Twitter called #releasethememo that became hugely popular on Twitter.It was used by conservatives and allies of the president who hoped the memo's release would undercut special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.But a series of recent reports indicate that some of those Twitter accounts promoting #releasethememo were fake,and that some of them were linked to Russian interests.Thomas Rid is at the Johns Hopkins School for Advanced International Studies,and he's been examining how Twitter and other online platforms can be used by these so-called fake bots to spread information online.Welcome back to the "NewsHour."Hi. So, as I was describing, this hashtag on Twitter called #releasethememo became hugely popular.Lots of people, real live human beings, were using the hashtag because they wanted the memo to come out,but allegedly some of these hashtag were being promoted by these bots.Can you explain what we know about these bots and what they have ― how they might have been connected to Russia?So, a bot is an automated Twitter account that doesn't have a real human being behind it, but just a program.And, indeed, it seems that some automated accounts and some fake real human beings that aren't actually who they pretend to be,
