- AndrewBissell 7y agoIs the tweet correct or not? Is your point here that - Zhukov is not actually a Tea Party Trump supporter and the tweet is made up, or - Zhukov is all these things but it would not in fact be relevant to New Yorker readers, or - Zhukov is all these things, but the facts should be ignored because they are coming from an unapproved source?
- kelvich 7y agoI was just saying that collaboration with RT is a big red flag. Talking about tweet itself it's definitely not correct at least in anti-feminist part. Also whole tweet intention is kind of ad hominem, original article discussed Zhukov's speech and his sentence, not his personality.
- jsnk 7y ago> I was just saying that collaboration with RT is a big red flag How come?
- nirv 7y agoIt comes from the consistent history of the factually incorrect propaganda reporting, with direct funding from the state budget. The very same state that dictates convictions to judges for political prisoners upon a phone call from the state administration.
- chr1 7y agoTurns out even people who work for Russia Today tell the truth sometimes (if they were consistently lying they would be telling the truth after all:). I have watched Zhukovs videos before he got arrested, he self identifies as a libertarian, supports Trump as a lesser evil compared to Sanders and Warren, and likes Jordan Peterson. Because of this Russian twitter was abuzz today with feminists arguing whether it was ok to support him. So the article indeed misrepresents his views.
