The #Iran-built news networks include a site launched in Oct called “#NioThinker”, which focused on the #Israel-#Hamas #war before it started to publish articles on the coming #US #election. It takes a #liberal slant, calling #Trump an “opioid-pilled elephant in the MAGA china shop,” acc/to the report from Microsoft’s Threat Analysis Center.

A related site aimed at #conservatives, “#SavannahTime”, writes on #Republican #politics & #LGBTQ issues. Some of the sites use #AI to plagiarize content from US sites, the company said. The “about us” blurb on the site reads, “We’re opinionated, we’re noisy, & we’re having a good time.”
