WASHINGTON — U.S. intelligence officials on Tuesday accused a conservative financial news website with a significant American readership of amplifying Kremlin propaganda and alleged five media outlets targeting Ukrainians have taken direction from Russian spies.
The officials said Zero Hedge, which has 1.2 million Twitter followers, published articles created by Moscow-controlled media that were then shared by outlets and people unaware of their nexus to Russian intelligence. 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.
In most instances people can sort the wheat from the chaff i.e. we know the CBC is propaganda, we know RT is the Russian CBC, but why hasn’t the New York Times been charged for publishing Communist China’s bilge?
