"This month, Sinclair Broadcast Group has flooded a vast network of local news websites with misleading articles suggesting that President Biden is mentally unfit for office. The articles are based on specious social media posts by the Republican National Committee (RNC), which are then repackaged to resemble news reports."

I suspect that this is part of the Operation Overlord campaign that the Finnish government issued a warning about.

The Kremlin has been pushing canard for years and years.

Americans have got to wake up to the political technology that Russia and our other adversaries are using to help divide our society. Putin's trolls started pushing the canard back before he was POTUS, but our birdbrained media forgot that they broke that story.

Similarly, someone set up fake accounts for two of Trump's judges that they could use to help him convince his base they're crooked.
