Remember the story of the super fat Russian general dragged out of retirement to lead their forces? All a lie and everyone ran with it...

Remember this "exclusive" story in the Daily Star about "general Pavel", who was supposedly "dragged out of retirement" by Putin and sent to Ukraine?

So yeah, turns out that's total bullshit.@Lotte_Lambrecht and I found out who's _actually_ in this photo. Follow along!

Read the entire Tweet. She lays it out quite well. What has me spinning is that I have Russian readers here and NONE of them corrected the idiocy. 

Its weird that major news organizations would run with such a poorly vetted story.  That none would correct that story once the facts were known.  

Its weird that so many bit on the story and aren't the least bit pissed that they were so wrong and passed along bad info.

We're all a big experiment.  They're testing control of the masses via information warfare.
