Remember that all US-controlled media is potentially US-controlled propaganda.

The government can use US media for propaganda against US citizens.


Fact.

I assume you'll start a post about every MSM outlet now?

this should be obvious to anyone with half a brain.

There are a few posters who always defend russia, admire Putin AND always used Zero Hedge as their source… and Gateway Pundit is the other bogus site used by them too

This forum is a weird one, most conversations about media go like this:

First: Trust nothing you see in any media period, all are bias
Second: Trust me

Pretty much sums up what I see daily.

Zero Hedge just issued a response to these ridiculous accusations a few minutes ago:

From the article: “The officials did not say whether they thought Zero Hedge knew of any links to spy agencies and did not allege direct links between the website and Russia.”

The thread title is inaccurate.

Exclamation Zero Hedge Has "Angered the CIA" after Exposing their Russia Lies

hah!!! The CIA is upset, I love it. These frauds are getting exposed more and more every week

From Zero Hedge:
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/no...-we-pissed-cia

Well, now we've done it - we've angered the CIA, and for what? For publishing views that challenge the conventional narrative, such as disputing that an invasion of Ukraine is actually "imminent" as the US State Department and its mainstream media conduits repeat day after day, or that the Covid virus was actually created in a Chinese lab, a view which has gained substantial prominence in recent months after it emerged that none other than the UK's Jeremy Farrar (also known as the UK's Doctor Fauci) played a pivotal role in stifling suggestions that this new virus might have come from a laboratory rather than emerged through natural zoonotic transmission from animals.

Of course, there is no actual accusation that Zero Hedge works directly with anyone tied to Russia or its intelligence apparatus - as the AP admits "officials did not say whether they thought Zero Hedge knew of any links to spy agencies and did not allege direct links between the website and Russia", which is correct because - and we will repeat this once again for the record and for all future similar hit piece attempts to smear us - this website has never worked, collaborated or cooperated with Russia, nor are there any links to spy (or any other) agencies; instead all the AP notes, citing some unnamed "intelligence official", is that the US intelligence apparatus is unhappy that among our hundreds of guest publishing contributors is a website called Strategic Culture Foundation which US intel officials "allege" take direction from the SVR, the Russian foreign intelligence service.



Here is the hit piece from Bloomberg:

Mark Belling out of Milwaukee has been ripping on our government a lot lately, saying that you basically can't trust any of our major institutions. I guess he's a Russian plant.

He referenced among other things spying on Trump in 2016 and what he calls the Russian Collusion Hoax.
