OK, I see what’s happening. Mitt has sponsored results under that search, and his result is automatically highlighted…so if you type fast like I do and hit enter, it always goes to his page.

Just for giggles, go to https://www.facebook.com/mittromney and use the search box to search for “barack obama” then click enter.

It’s blocked.

You can search for anything else and the results are displayed.

Same thing happened to me. At first I didn’t think anything of it. Maybe I accidentally clicked something? But I’m pretty careful about stuff like that and I don’t click a lot of “Like” buttons overall. Then another friend reported the same thing happening to her and I realized that it wasn’t just an accident.

Will this ever reach mainstream media? Hell no! Nobody wants to believe that people *cheat*. But with an election and hundreds of millions of dollars on the line, I pretty much assume people are cheating, even if it isn’t directly endorsed by Mitt himself.

The same thing happened to me tonight. Mitt Romney stuff in my feed; I go look at the page and it’s liked and I never did that. No record of it in the log either. This is quite disturbing.

Never ascribe to malice that is more easily explained by incompetence.

Translation – Facebook saw all the money being made selling fake users and likes and realized they could get a premium selling real, engaged users.
