Caitlin Johnstone is a Putinist, so of course she’d be gunning for the Democrats. Her bosses want a second Trump administration, after all.
i thought they were all pushed out a window?
Ah yes, everyone who isn't with US, is our enemy.
Everyone nods furiously
Something something thunderous applause...
Ah yes, only time will tell! What a reasonable take. No wait.
So she IS a putinist, right?
She's a soft apologist/propaganda pusher at minimal JUST from his article that he thought was exculpatory evidence
Sure sure, the guy is a real piece of work. Wait till you learn about this guy called Stoltenberg who is openly pushing Putin propaganda. Now NATO itself is being infiltrated by putinists!
Yes, different people can say different things in different contexts and some are right and some are wrong and some are pushing Putin propaganda and some Putin propaganda May be based in facts but doesn't mean his actions in response to the facts are correct. You do know what propaganda is right?
It doesn't have to be false information. It can just be biased. It can also just be misleading.
Point being who the fuck cares what the head of NATO said when it's not word for the word the same as this guy and that's not what we're talking about. You're being an asshat
Well I was talking about name calling so that's fitting.
Hey look at that you ignore everything else I wrote but for one line and in that action you further prove its truth.
Remember fallacies are built in using it as the entire logic of the claim, not as adding insult.
1+1=2, idiot doesn't become less true because there's an insult, nor do I claim it becomes more true. I just wanted to point to my feelings behind your actions
Well you agreed to my initial suggestion that anyone who isn't with US empire is the enemy. What is left to say? Except for hurling insults from the trenches?
Whether or not she's a Putinist I can't say, but her work is crowd funded. She's independent.
There is surely no way to prove either one of you correct.
Source?
I don't think your block is working, as they seem to be the OP of the post.
So no source. Blue MAGA strikes again.
You reposting this is a pretty good piece of evidence of its friendliness to Putin
My thoughts exactly
upon 2 seconds of googling it seems her primary web host is under an aussie domain, so... There's that.
Putin already conquers upside-down land?
depends, aussie politics are pretty aggressively corrupt right now, lots of chinese influence it smells like. Regardless, idk what the fuck an aussie is doing talking about US politics.
You could have read that in the about us section if you took a little more time than exactly what you need to make up a strawman.
But doing honest research does not seem to be the intention.
oh sorry my bad, did i not indicate that i spent literally two seconds googling it. Perhaps you could be a kind samaritan and explain it to me since you seem to be in the know here.
oh cool, so we've got a secondary source, from a third person, i really do love tertiary sources
Tartar sauce is great.
Sorry what does your comment mean?
yeah that checks out. I shouldn't be surprised by that.
