            Russia goes all-out with covert disinformation aimed at Harris,


            Microsoft report says


            By ALI SWENSON
            Associated Press
            NEW  YORK  (AP)  —  The
            video  was  seen  millions  of
            times  across  social  media
            but  some  viewers  were
            suspicious:  It  featured  a
            young  Black  woman  who
            claimed  Vice  President
            Kamala Harris left her para-
            lyzed  in  a  hit-and-run  ac-
            cident in San Francisco 13
            years ago.In an emotional
            retelling from a wheelchair,
            the alleged victim said she
            “cannot remain silent any-
            more”  and  lamented  that
            her childhood had “ended
            too soon.”
            Immediately  after  the  vid-
            eo was posted on Sept. 2,
            social media users pointed
            out reasons to be wary. The
            purported news channel it
            came  from,  San  Francis-
            co’s KBSF-TV, didn’t exist.
