Investigation: Where does Russian disinformation incubate in US?
The Kyiv Independant ^ | December 14, 2022 | Igor Kossov

Posted on 12/14/2022 10:06:19 PM PST by familyop

The Kremlin’s hand isn’t necessarily behind every bit of fake news. But many who write misinformation also interact with people and organizations linked with the Kremlin who use cultural events and diaspora outreach as a guise for lobbying and spreading propaganda. These organizations don't go unnoticed by the law...The Kyiv Independent mapped these connections to allow readers to draw their own informed conclusions about the credibility of these people and organizations. This article profiles several people and groups with alleged ties to the Kremlin. The visual map that accompanies the article displays the people in their orbit and how they’re related. Click on the icons to read a brief dossier of a specific commentator or organization.

The Kyiv Independent is not media in any traditional sense- it is paid globohomo propaganda funded by the European Endowment for Democracy (EU equivalent of NED) and the government of Canada since its founding in 2021- its staff are a broad cross sampling of leftist and deep state orgs (Ford Foundation/ Soros/ etc). Its propaganda during the Ukraine conflict has been quite ridiculous and increasingly- makes the Daily Mail seem calm and sage.

Agreed with your irony and sarcasm. Democrats have tried to exclusively own the high ground on this topic and falsely accused President Trump in the process.

Russia is not blocking your toilet.

It's your turds.

This pro-Ukraine/anti-Russia pablum is a lot of nothing.

There is nothing useful or important in the chart, folks.

Now you want to jump on the leftist censorship bandwagon. Neocons are totalitarian creeps.

I thought FR is a Roooskie propaganda incubator. At any rate, we have loads of duped Vlad idolizers here. Who see Vlad as their anti-globohomo savior. They know nothing, how the Russians behaved during the decades of the Cold War. Sad Vlad is just a continuation of the old USSR.

Pathetic actor Vlad is duped too, into thinking he is a Tsar of old. All the world is a stage in this media centric age.

“All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely Players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts, His Acts being seven ages. At first, the infant, Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms. Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel And shining morning”

“I thought FR is a Roooskie propaganda incubator.”

1) That is what you get for thinking.

2) Anyone with braincells above 8th grade level can easily use the FR Search feature at the top right of the page, type in Ukraine or Russia and see exactly who the real propaganda peddlers are.....and BAM!, they virtually all pro-Ukrainian propaganda peddlers......

I see lots of Russian propaganda here, yes. Lots of Ukrainian Russian, DNC misinformation (whatever that is) floating around.

Personally, I just come down towards the Ukraine. Russia invaded Ukraine, with little or no provocation for war.

Ukraine, in my mind, however, is perfectly justified in carrying the war inside Russia.
