I am seeing Americans tweet blatant examples of Russian propaganda about Prof Ford,

things saying she works for the CIA, that her father worked for the CIA, etc. And the stuff is clearly identified as coming from Russian intelligence, and translated from the Russian -- and yet these morons are taking it seriously, and calling it "evidence."

We ARE being brainwashed. It is frightening to me how vulnerable to this the Internet has made us. What are they doing in schools to teach children to be skeptical and not trust everything they read?

ON UPDATE:

There is a Harold Ford who was with the CIA, but he died in 2010, leaving only a son. No daughter, so Christine wasn't his.

This is how fake stories get started.
