Foreign actors fomenting distrust in our institutions via message boards

[Dennis Donovan]

I'm seeing multiple instances of it *spiking* on message boards I frequent, a year and a half before the election. Not just political message boards, but niche boards dealing with aviation, shipping and boating, even pet forums.

One trend I'm seeing is attacks on our free press, labeling the free press in ways that are dishonest, and designed to make the unwitting believe that NO press should be believed.

Another trend is criticism towards our judicial system, labeling every American judicial entity as corrupt, so even the Rule of Law should not be trusted.

Please, my DU friends. Be smart information consumers should you see such actions or trends on any message boards. This isn't specifically about DU (because, if it were, my post would be hidden). This is about any and all websites you may frequent.

Don't be dumb, be a smarty, NEVER join the Nazi Party.
