    why is this an RT story about a grayzone story instead of a direct link to whatever the grayzone published on it? preferably with primary sources so libs can’t just “lol grayzone” or “lol russian state media”?

      Libs will discard the journalistic work if it doesn’t exclusively say that all Russians are orcs and that Ukraine is wholesome and the war is purely defensive and nothing to do with NATO, regardless of the source.

        some will some won’t. you and i both know western intelligence agencies are meddling all over the place and making shit up about their enemies, but some people will be reachable (or forced to reckon with their cognitive dissonance) if it’s not coming from fucking RT.

        the propaganda value of the truth can hinge on the messenger

          Did you even click the link? Kit Klarenberg from the Grayzone did a video interview directly with RT. It’s right there in the article.

          Libs are always gonna cry about RT, and that’s hilarious.
