    zeynep tufekci Retweeted Staci D Kramer

    I've seen this tweet a lot. It's not true. The source has no indications of credibility. There's no link. The claim is false. It's gone viral. Reminder to us that falling for misinformation doesn't just happen to alien creatures, or only on other side of the political spectrum.https://twitter.com/sdkstl/status/1045709750481158145 …

    warning: this viral tweet purporting to cite the WSJ is being shared by a lot of people who should know better. It’s a hoax repeated in a subsequent tweet. No one should RT or share anything from this account. #factcheck pic.twitter.com/TmCTMhZp9B

        It's up to 11K in retweets. It's false. The "WSJ:" is meant to signal credibility but there's no link. The claim is straight-up made-up as far as I can tell. There is no WSJ article. It's spreading, still, like wildfire. Misinformation isn't something that only happens to others.pic.twitter.com/86ELF2eOZD

        Replying to @zeynep

        it seems so many of these so-called resistance accounts are pushing nonsense to discredit the cause, and i suspect those behind it have nefarious motives, be it russia or some other interest in support of trumpism

        This has been true since late 2015 at least (not resistance, obviously, but purported left wing accounts esp on FB). It's difficult when sh-t is moving so fast and life legitimately resembles @TheOnion so often these days but take a minute and verify before amplifying, folks.pic.twitter.com/MVMA8AjfCT

        I would have checked it, but WSJ is behind a pay wall and I don't subscribe to anything owned by Rupert Murdock.

        WSJ is the least likely source to break an anti-Trump scoop since their ownership change.

        Also, not sure of the source here but the Russians like to send out inflammatory stuff representing both sides to sow chaos and division
