RT, the pro-Kremlin TV network, spits out a tweet every two minutes, many of them shared hundreds of times. Are they shared because human beings find them witty and persuasive? Perhaps not. An analysis of over 33,000 tweets from three news outlets shows that RT gets its retweets from relatively few followers. A similar pattern holds for who “likes” its posts on Facebook. Of the 50 accounts that most often retweet RT, 16 have such a regular pattern that they are probably “bots”—ie, computer programs—or chronic insomniacs. Many of the rest are extremely fond of Donald Trump.
