'Big League Truth Team' pushes Trump's talking points on social media

Any given member of Donald Trump’s “Big League Truth Team” has only one essential job: retweet the Republican nominee, bigly.
Last week, Trump’s campaign asked supporters to use social media to combat the “rigged” mainstream media during debates. His campaign website announced: “We cannot count on the rigged MSM to bring the truth to the American people.
“I need you to help me speak directly to the hard-working Americans who want to take our country back. Join the Big League Truth Team and help fact check Crooked Hillary LIVE during the debates.”
The site asked supporters to sign up through email, Twitter and their phone numbers. After signing up, the Guardian received a welcome email calling on it to “be ready” to spread Trump messages across “Twitter, Facebook, Email and any other tool you have”.
