Fox News figured out how to mine the best output of the online lie-generation machine long ago. It was just a matter of time until Putin did.

That changed after months of being caught in the QAnon-Fox News feedback loop.

Every day, Russian troops are murdering and kidnapping Ukrainians in this unprovoked war — and using American-made propaganda to justify it.
