ROGER SIMON: “I’m on RCP again this aft. It’s about the hundredth time in the last two years. (Yes, I bribe them.) Naturally, this brings out the trolls in force. I can’t imagine they have any impact at all on readers. Most of them are too obvious. Some, I suppose, do this out of “love,” but many are obviously paid and have pre-written talking points. You can see this because their responses are always vaguely off-topic. Anyway, what I’d like to know – and perhaps someone in our group has some information – just how much are these people paid and by whom? Yes, I know Soros is often the Grand Paymaster in the Sky, but how exactly does it work?”

I’ve often wondered this myself — any clues?
