Both articles are quoting prominent US politicians and goes on to detail Fema's response.

How does a vague statement from Russian politician "amplify disinformation"?
Is the bar for "amplifying disinformation" as low as quoting US politicians/presidential candidate?

The statement included no money for the clean up - disinformation, money for a drunken mob of Ukrainian thugs - disinformation, tweeted to 1.3m followers - amplifying. If it was just Dimitry it wouldn't be a big deal but the same is probably going out to thousands of 'US Patriot 457' type bot accounts, their paid $100k/episode shills like Tim Pool, quite likely Tucker and Donald, and so on.

The word interference doesn't make it into the abc article and the "russia amplified hurricane disinformation" seems pretty provenn from links in the ISD articles to posts from RT, Sputnik and Dmitry Medvedev doing just that.
Not to say there weren't legit criticisms, just that the Russians were trying to stir things.
