And I'm not a paid shill. The above is just a reality of the media landscape and a lot of people's mistrust in it and of the west in general.
But it’s not a sign of intelligence so much as a sign of someone who has lost their ability to evaluate sources, and cannot navigate the information landscape of the modern world successfully.
If Russia is actually doing bad things, reporting on said bad things is not conveniently fitting the anti-Russia narrative, it’s just reporting on what Russia is doing.
Are you claiming that all these severed themself or purely due non-malicious incompetence?
I mean, it's also sort of weird that Russia would be called out in the beginnings of a sneak attack, publicly deny it to the world, and then do it anyway.
Or spill radioactive poisons on the streets of London in a a baroque assassination of a British citizen.
Or try to import ground troops from frickin' North Korea.
Weird stories do happen.
