The Associated Press attempted to blame Twitter owner Elon Musk and “pro-Russian” Twitter accounts for Americans’ distrust of Big Daddy Government and liberal media gaslighting about the toxic Ohio train disaster. Talk about a ridiculous attempt at a stretch.
AP whined in a Mar. 18 story — “Pro-Moscow voices tried to steer Ohio train disaster debate” — that “anonymous pro-Russian accounts” used “Elon Musk’s new verification system” to spread “misleading claims and anti-American propaganda” about the East Palestine, Ohio train derailment. The train’s derailing led authorities to create a controlled explosion that released toxic fumes into the atmosphere. “The accounts, which parroted Kremlin talking points on myriad topics, claimed without evidence that authorities in Ohio were lying about the true impact of the chemical spill,” AP complained. Apparently AP didn’t learn anything from the Twitter Files. Just because left-wing talking heads call an account “pro-Russian” doesn’t mean it is, and a deeper dive into AP’s sources just makes its propaganda seem more like a pathetic attempt to protect government talking points.
AP said London, U.K.-based group Reset identified the “pro-Russian” accounts. Ben Scott, the group's executive director, was “the technology policy advisory group” lead for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign — the same campaign that served as the genesis of the Trump-Russia collusion hoax, which AP itself mindlessly promoted. AP didn’t bother mentioning this in its write-up, and neither did CNN has-been Brian Stelter when he plastered the story on hisTwitter feed. Journalist Glenn Greenwald raked Stelter over the proverbial coals for his thin veneer of media analysis bonafides and lack of critical thinking skills.

AP = All Propaganda.
LOL, you would almost think they were reading Free Republic!!!!
LOL. The evil, dark pro-commie forces controlled Twitter and other media for years. Now that some sunshine is shined on Twitter and it is a free speech platform, those same commie bastards now accuse it of being commie.
They have zero self-awareness.
Proof that the left relies on the short memory of the American public!
This asinine propaganda reminds me of the early days of the Mueller fraud of Trump Russia-gate.
Every action Trump took was spun and projected by media to be somehow “connected to Russia.”
A lof aZZhole trolls on FR with their RuZZian Orc themes do the same thing here
The funny thing is AP is pro-Moscow.
Complete BS. Anyone that cries ‘Russia’ needs Russia shoved where the sun doesn’t shine.
A taste of the left’s own medicine - The AP has made baseless claims that . . .
Repeat
Yes, exactly what you are doing with the same post over and over and over and over again. Please, we get it, kindly post something different for a change. It’s tedious and adds nothing to the conversation.
It’s the long form of SPJNK or play stupid games win stupid prizes. There’s another one about global warming. Just as tiring.
I love how they say claimed without evidence. AP has been claiming without evidence for decades.
.. but more likely CCP owned politicians did.
Btw,, when , and by whom, is it EVER legal to burn vinyl chloride in an open burn pit ?...
..why hasn’t THAT question been asked by AP or any urinalist or politician ?
