For a story like this, the risk is so high that anyone speaking on the record could really be in mortal danger. If Putin is truly behind this, well, we've already seen how he handles detractors in his own country.
This is why you need to trust your news sources. Maybe you don't trust CNN, and think they're "fake news", but if that's the case then you've already lost any hope of objectivity. There are many news stories that are provably false, and CNN is not one of the major news outlets that continuously reports those kinds of things.
- lsh123 10y agoI don't implicitly trust the news since the time I was a kid: I grew up in USSR and there was a saying that the only truth in the Soviet newspapers is the typos. Anyway, there are many good articles on the art of reading news in the time of news wars. The better ones I like: https://news.vice.com/article/how-to-cut-through-the-bullshit-and-read-the-news-like-a-defense-analyst https://news.vice.com/article/how-to-cut-through-the-bullshi... http://www.criticalthinking.org/pages/the-art-of-close-reading-part-one/509 http://www.criticalthinking.org/pages/the-art-of-close-readi... (and then other parts)
