History
[edit]The company was founded following the 2008 United States presidential election to oppose the policies of President Barack Obama. During the 2012 United States presidential election, it participated in a grassroots effort to oppose Obama's election by placing sticky notes at various gas stations criticizing the increased price of gasoline since he took office.[6]
During the 2016 United States presidential election, the company became active in promoting the election of President Donald Trump. It primarily used Facebook, creating 176 different pages to promote conservative ideas and Trump's candidacy. Writers for the company wrote articles which were then linked to from the company's Facebook pages. A report in The Financial Times cited the company as an example of the misinformation spreading online during the campaign.[7] The company closed in 2017.[8]
