Here's how Moscow's fake news machine tried to interfere with the French election In this episode of Truth or Fake, Vedika Bahl outlines how the Russian disinformation machine attempted to interfere with the recent French legislative elections, as well as how it tried to impersonate real French media - including a previous episode of this very show - to spread falsehoods.
