This is an odd sentiment. Most of the reporting around fake new shows it comes from entrepreneurial people, some I would say are morally suspect, but I have never seen any reporting show it going back to nation states. Its just clever people take advantage of people awful biases.

  You are actually citing that WaPo propOrnot piece? You trust independent, anonymous experts to tell you what is legit? There is zero fact checking in that thing. You might as well be sourcing 4chan. Talk about playing to people's biases... EDIT: I'm retarded.

    You misunderstood me. Parent mentioned that he had not seen this narrative about Russian propaganda anywhere. I saw a whole bunch just yesterday so I posted them there. I personally find them ridiculous and agree with fortune piece which I believe was a reaction to WaPo piece.
