CraigList Has Come Into News Due To Its Bizarre Adds

0 comments
Craig List is a popular advertising site. This website has come into news due to a bizarre job posting. The posting was made in order to seek writers with ability to neutralize the opinions of left-wing politics. It was stated in advertisement that writers in large numbers were required for news websites and social media websites. Purpose for their hiring was that they would help the right-wing political parties. Their basic job would be to reduce the biasing of left-wing in major outlets of media.

This advertisement was completed with different spelling errors. Though this ad conveyed its meanings but its spelling errors raised a number of questions over its legitimacy.

The applicants were asked to submit also a post of 100-words in order to show their suitability for this position. This posting remained on Halifax, Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver websites for a few hours; but its removal happened when Craigslist staff took notice of it. After its removal on behalf of Craigslist staff, it was posted again with a little change, this time it was asking the applicants to post a few comments of left-wing as their writing samples while applying for this job.

Twitter was overcrowded with comments on this advertisement shortly later. Mostly, these comments accused the Conservative Party for posting this adds, however, a large number of opinions took it as an amusing online joke. Justin Trudeau is a Federal Liberal candidate standing in Papineau; he said that earlier he had thought that Con trolls had hated him due to their principal stands but later he realized that their comments were based on well-paid jobs.
However, no one knows in public’s opinion that who had posted the add but both Liberal and Conservative parties will try to score marks over this incident.
