It started with the Boston marathon bombing, four years ago. University of Washington
professor Kate Starbird was sifting through thousands of tweets sent in the aftermath
and noticed something strange.
“There was a significant volume of social-media traffic that blamed the Navy SEALs for
the bombing,” ...
Same thing after the mass shooting that killed nine at Umpqua Community College in Oregon:
a burst of social-media activity calling the massacre a fake, a stage play by “crisis
actors” for political purposes.
I have noticed that infowars.com, when I have checked, has aligned with the Russian narrative. I have observed it casually but it has been too noticeable to just ignore it.
