Can You Believe This - State Department bureau spent $630,000 on Facebook 'likes'
Question EVERYTHING Traveler In The Matrix User ID: 42741089 United States 07/03/2013 04:43 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Can You Believe This - State Department bureau spent $630,000 on Facebook 'likes' I cannot believe that we have homeless people and people that starve to death in this country and we have the a very high rate of poverty in the richest country in the world.... And we have this garbage... What the liberals have done to this country in 5 years just sickens me...Not that the republicans don't have their faults... State Department officials spent $630,000 to get more Facebook "likes," prompting employees to complain to a government watchdog that the bureau was "buying fans" in social media, the agency's inspector general says. The department's Bureau of International Information Programs spent the money to increase its "likes" count between 2011 and March 2013. "Many in the bureau criticize the advertising campaigns as 'buying fans' who may have once clicked on an ad or 'liked' a photo but have no real interest in the topic and have never engaged further," the inspector general reported.
