western news saying russians pay trolls to spread pro-russian opinion on the web while russian news are saying exactly the same thing for western trolls.
It just depends on which side you see it. if you look at the big picture she is not a victim but someone fighting an information war
- distances 11y agoThis is investigative journalism of a proven phenomenon (paid Russian troll factories), and claiming it to be part of "information war" frankly smacks of the very thing the journalist is investigating here.
- kbart 11y agoThat's exactly what Kremlin propaganda wants you to believe: "everybody is lying, we are no different". No it's not. There are, of course, dishonest journalists, paid articles, power play, political pressure in western journalism, but it's by no means comparable to mass, state-run propaganda machine Russia's so-called "journalism" is. Snowden's story is a perfect example of that - the wast amount of resources by the most powerful western states were put into efforts trying to stop the leaks to no avail.
