Yep, I caught that a couple days ago. I switched to Qwant. I considered Ecosia but they work through Bing who I do not trust.

Right wing media outlets realize that the more they vilify the left the better they will do. So naturally they do it.
It's why I have been watching India news.

When you consider all the names the Far Right has used for decades to describe Russia, and now this.

Whack.
The most recent YouGov poll shows republicans having a slightly more net negative view of Russia as an enemy than democrats.

I think you are repeating propaganda as Russia has been a democrat political tool to divide for years now, see the Russia collusion hoax. When asked for evidence on this widespread problem democrats provide conflated evidence or exceptions.

let's look


2000.... the election was STOLEN by a hanging chad
2001....9/11 was an inside job by Buuuush
2004... John Kerry..."those Diebold machines cheated me" (btw Diebold elections was bought out by the new company Dominion but uses the same tech from Diebold)
2008...the recession was caused by Buuuush….even though it was actually because of liberal policies from before bush
2012... the Benghazi "incident" was caused by a video
2016....Hillary Clinton..."I was cheated, I won the popular vote, the EC should not matter"
2020... Covid was caused by trumpo…




its the left that believes in more conspiracy theories than anyone else
Funny, I was a democrat and do still believe in the first three things. But then after Obama's first term, I realized that the people in charge on both the Republican and Democrat sides seem to be championing the same thing. Wars and destroying the middle class.

All I can say is, because I loathe the Bush family, anything they say and do, I will support the exact opposite.

now the US Government emphatically DENIED this, stating: we have NOTHING in Ukraine... then just this past week Psaki reverses that statement and says "Yes there is a US Funded "Biological research facility" and we are genuinely concerned if the Russians get a hold of it"


Victoria Nuland testified in a hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that Ukraine has biological research facilities. If there were, or are, that would be a violation of the Biological Weapons Convention.



John Kirby, Pentagon Press Secretary, claims that is not true, and that there are or were no biological research facilities in Ukraine, that it's a "bunch of malarkey," (Biden's favorite phrase).




your point OP point was that this is a rightwing conspiracy....when the fact is that the USA(government) HAS LIED, and spread misinformation and if these facts are to be looked at from a neutral standpoint, can we actually believe anything that is coming from the government and its media guard-dogs





but we all know that you are a left wing nut job, who posts (aka a sockpuppet) FOR the left wing liars



Truth is a far Right conspiracy theory.

Your ID is off IMO. I am just a American who is a Moderate.

These are not biological warfare labs. Makes little sense. Then again, if China and Russia has those literally? Guess we should.
Excuse me - what have you been smoking? In 2005 Senator Dick Luga and then Senator Barack Obama worked together on developing a plan to setup a bio-research lab in the Ukraine. In 2010 the facility opened in Odessa Ukraine.

Here's a link to the story which has since been deleted - wonder why?
https://web.archive.org/web/20110522...ens-in-ukraine

None of us - Republican or Democrat knows what the heck goes on in Washington. Neither party is transparent and everything is done under the guise of what's best for the American people.

Much of the false information is flourishing in Russian social media, far-right online spaces and U.S. conservative media, including Tucker Carlson’s show on Fox News.

Most of the conspiracy theories claim that the U.S. was developing and plotting to release a bioweapon or potentially another coronavirus from “biolabs”’ throughout Ukraine and that Russia invaded to take over the labs. Many of the theories implicate people who are often the targets of far-right conspiracy thinking — including Dr. Anthony Fauci and President Joe Biden — as being behind creating the weaponized diseases in the biolabs.

Whats scary is all the media has to do is say "this came from Q" or "Russia" and normies will believe them despite there being a ton of evidence otherwise.

There are literally official US government docs on the labs in Ukraine, plus all the others in govt who admitted their existence. In other words your post is flat out wrong.

Agree about cable news. CNN, FOX, MSNBC... all talking heads, and its not news, its political commentary. Very different than the hard news ABC, NBC, CBS evening programs do.
