Forbes, definitely an objective and impartial source about Russia.
- creddit 8y agoIs there a reason to believe it's not? I'm not familiar with any particular Russian bias from Forbes.
- tonypace 8y agoForbes doesn't have a Russian bias. It has a business model bias. In short, it milks its good name while paying a low per click rate. This combination is very, very attractive to propaganda operations. People who see themselves as writers cannot make an actual living there, but writing for a publication their parents recognize feeds their ego. This can work either overtly or more subtly. They can simply reward useful perspectives with clicks, or they can offer additional steady money work through other channels. Either way they have an entirely deniable useful idiot. Forbes is particularly full of this.
