A new report from the US State Department accuses Russia of conducting a sophisticated disinformation and propaganda campaign that uses a variety of approaches including Kremlin-aligned news sites to promote their agenda.
Wednesday's report focuses in particular on the Russian government's use of this network to push disinformation about the coronavirus pandemic as it spread across the globe.
So the US is accusing Russia of doing something that the US is essentially doing? Oh wait, Trump isn't sophisticated.
Seriously though, how can this be taken very seriously when the US is and has been doing pretty much the same?
'However, on the same day the report was released, the Department unveiled "a reward of up to $10M for information leading to the identification or location of any person who, acting at the direction or under the control of a foreign government, interferes with US elections by engaging in certain criminal cyber activities," in the words of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.'
I wonder how much trouble I would get into if I reported Donald Trump?
