Russia has aimed its entire media arsenal at the veteran Hollywood actor Morgan Freeman over his appearance in a video accusing the Kremlin of waging "war" on America during last year's presidential election.
The video shows the Oscar winner accusing President Vladimir Putin, a "former KGB spy", of launching cyber attacks and spreading false information in order to avenge the collapse of the Soviet Union.
He urges President Donald Trump to tell the nation that "during this past election, we came under attack by the Russian government".
The clip was produced by The Committee to Investigate Russia, a group set up by Hollywood director Rob Reiner to expose what it calls Russia's "aggressive effort to subvert the American democratic process".
The committee includes former National Intelligence Agency director James Clapper on its advisory board.
The Russian media claims that Morgan was "duped" and compared him to Colin Powell who famously made the case to attack Iraq based on fake and inadequate data.
Clearly that is not the case with Mr. Freeman, who seems to be well informed as to what Russia did during the 2016 election, and whose opinion falls right in line with the folks currently investigating the Kremlin's interference.
Also keep in mind who else the Russians tried desperately to smear.
For those who forgot what all of the hoopla was about here is that Morgan Freeman video again.
By the way, the group that made this video, Committee to Investigate Russia, is in now way stopping with just this one video. And you can ascertain that for yourself simply by visiting their website.
