All written and paid for by Communist Chinese... published as news stories.

Casey Smith is a corps member for the Associated Press/Report for America Statehouse News Initiative. Report for America is a nonprofit national service program that places journalists in local newsrooms to report on undercovered issues.
They not only 'place journalists' they pay their salaries. Newspapers - after decades of downsizing and giving the finger to half their readers (conservatives) are desperate. They rationalize they would cover these subject anyhow...(race and sexual politics issues) so 'why not'...
Well, the 'reporters' are twofers - they not only cover things 'elites' and commies want covered, they're newsroom spies. Soros friends want to know who's coming across as a 'conservative'? A casual conversation with the 'reporter' clears that up.. It's no different than large tobacco companies placing 'reporters' in major newspapers in the 50's... keeping an eye on making sure the 'right' stories get space...
This is a new low...
“Were they published as paid ads?”
They were published to appear as news stories. But they were paid ads.
A while ago happened to be watching some Youtube vids critical of China. The comment sections were loaded with posts vehemently denouncing the video evidence as lies, etc.
I wouldn’t be surprised if some of those folks actually work for Youtube itself.
