A problem is that rhetoric is dismissed out of hand simply because it's agreed with by a US enemy state actor, even when it doesn't originate from a state at all.

Too many liberals follow the axiom "if Russia believes X, then X must be false" and don't even bother to examine the veracity of X.

Infuriating. As if all US media isn't state media.

What website removed your story?

Oh this was some time ago, you can find it in the modlog of my lemm.ee account. I think it was lemmy.flatworld but not too sure.

Its so funny too, because even if they believe they are peddling fake news for propaganda purposes, like some radio free x site, do they believe the reporting on their own state policies is fake??

Yeah, I get what you mean. It should be considered a primary source for that kind of info

Both Russia and China have never stopped being boogeymen since their respective socialist revolutions, really.
