Fake Twitter Accounts

This article made me think that many of the writers of the fake Twitter accounts are people linked closely to these republican and democratic representatives. At least that's how the said representatives felt. Maybe that's a clue that these fake accounts are created to unleash some steam about the people they work with? Maybe it's a way to dish the dirt on their fellow representatives or workers?

I did like thhat Mackowiak said that it was a nice "ego check." I think that's a good way to put it. These fake accoutns gave these people a way to see how they're portrayed by the population. It's their way to change maybe how they act or the things they say. What they might say may be different than how we portray them. It's like a reality check for them and, though it could be a boost to their egos that somebody is actually taking the time to make a fake account about them, it's kind of a slap across the face as well. It's a new look into what they say and the truth of what they say, especially when the Tweets are so closely linked to what the real people do and say.
