Could have sworn that the version of the story I read had a line saying that infowars and sites like it are the source of the problem. Unfortunately I cant find an archived version that contains that line so I guess I either misread it or it wasn't up for very long.

Here is the initial Wa post article where WA-PO went on a tirade against fake news sites and legitimized a bullshit list that implicates a bunch of sites as being Russian props.
