The whole idea of the state-sponsored troll army is to destroy the Internet as a reliable means of discussion and to devalue it as a venue for journalism, especially independent journalism. Russia would much prefer that there were only liar

It is probably just rhetoric, but I don't like he claims that he still doesn't know anything about statistics. Should we be educated by someone who has confidence that he can demonstrate his knowledge? I expect just more confusion

I'm actually surprised that the OECD has said that. Similar research has been published by the IMF as well. So these organizations have experts and yet spokesmen and officials give the opposite advice of what they tell them. Good thing
