The Associated Press is claiming that concerns over the chemical explosion that poisoned people in East Palestine, Ohio has been part of a Russian misinformation plot.
Pro-Moscow Twitter accounts tried to steer America's online conversation about last month's train derailment in Ohio. The accounts posted misleading claims and anti-U.S. propaganda designed to spread fear about the toxic spill and mock the U.S. response. https://t.co/xN7E5orfKt

The AP is theoretically supposed to be a hard news organization, but over the years even they have begun editorializing their content to push agendas. This is just another example of that.
How can they possibly claim that being concerned about a chemical explosion poisoning people is part of some Russian misinformation plot? This is just something anybody with common sense would be concerned about. It is also perfectly normal to ask why nobody in Washington DC gave a single shit about this disaster.
I mean, this AP story is literally the meme of claiming that anybody who disagrees with official propaganda is a Russian bot.
