Summer Fund Drive

The Trump Administration has sent Congress a rescissions package that would claw back already-approved funding for public media, including KBCS. These cuts would leave KBCS with a 10% gap in its budget. Our Summer Fund Drive starts Thursday, but you can help safeguard your favorite KBCS programs today. Please, donate now and thank you in advance.

Sock puppets are living in your social media feed.

A type of internet troll, sock puppets appear to be real people. They post on social media not just to provoke but to influence. These fake personalities are active in election season.

KBCS’s Jesse Callahan spoke with Darren Linvill, the lead Researcher at Clemson University’s Media Forensics Lab about how trolls work, and how to spot them.
