Apparently, an American given asylum in Russia is active in trying to sabotage the election this year. One of the dangers of getting your news from Xhitter, FB, or any other non-mainstream outlet: no reporters, no accountability, no research/verification. Care also needs to be exercised as he tries to mimic legit news sites, and AI is helping him. He buries the BS amongst actual news, so it is harder to detect (in principle).

Mr. Dougan, 51, who received political asylum in Moscow, is now a key player in Russia’s disinformation operations against the West. Back in 2016, when the Kremlin interfered in the American presidential election, an army of computer trolls toiled for hours in an office building in St. Petersburg to try to fool Americans online.

What accountability exists in the "mainstream" outlets? They spread more disinfo that anyone else.

Is the American going to Oxford and then going to Russia to protest America during the Vietnam War?

If he comes home, rapes Juanita and pulls his shlong out for Paula..... he can marry Hillary and get her full support.

And he can be President thanks to the Left too.

Here's to all brave Americans shedding the Red White Blue Dogma.

Jingoism. Nationalism.

Hail TMF Progressives.

Now, enjoy the results.

Think of the ones you haven't caught yet :) Heroes and shaheeds.

No, they don't. Not even close. It's these sketchy sources that try to reinforce that notion to further their own goals. The most you could accuse of MSM of is story selection (i.e. what they do and do not report).

Mainstream is accountable because of competition. The WashPo would love to be able to call out NYT for a false story, and vice versa. So they are incentivized to get it right, check sources, and beat others to the punch. Plus get Pulitzers.

You live in inversion world. This is so demonstrably false as to be ludicrous. You really sound like a fool when you make such idiotic statements.
