In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Steve Corman, who directs the Center for Strategic Communication at Arizona State University. We go through some published journalism, as well as Facebook and Twitter data, to get to the bottom of the rumors surrounding the west coast wildfires of 2020. We try to answer the question, "does disinformation activity surrounding these fires resemble previous Russian efforts at sowing division and confusion in the US and abroad?"
