Today's New York Times video on Russia's Invention of Fake News and Disinformation
Its three parts (around 40 minutes) show
-- how the GRU's hybrid warfare used "active measures" and disinformation to subvert Western minds and moral fiber,
-- how it planted lies whose virality and repetition give them power. Qanon's conspiracy theories being the latest.
-- how it can be debunked and destroyed.
