    Russia to promote anti-Ukraine politicians ahead of US election:

    Meta says Russia-based online influence campaigns would focus
    on weakening the West’s support for the Eastern European country.

    . . .

    Well, we'd expect that. Meanwhile all the other
    big players will be stumping for THEIR favorite
    candidates.

    So how to tell Russian propaganda from Ukrainian
    propaganda from Chinese propaganda from Israeli
    propaganda from Hamas propaganda ... ??? Sorry,
    you can't really. With "AI" techniques fake-
    anything is REALLY good and easy these days.
    It'd take more than a day of research on each
    bit you see ... and there'll be more shit
    tomorrow.

    SO ... no matter WHAT political promo you see
    on TV or the Net - remember to TAKE IT WITH
    A GRAIN OF SALT, so to speak. X-percent IS
    gonna be fake, something from people with
    an AGENDA having nothing to do with Truth &
    Justice and the American Way .......

    (Ok, ok, that'd be most EVERY Dem ad :-)

    Hmmm ... just consider ALL ads/promos this
    year like they were made as satire by SNL
    or some other comedic ensemble.
