[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 395486, member: 35"] Yes. It's infuriating that some people still say Russia's invasion of Ukraine was "an unprovoked attack" when the West's fingerprints are all over it (and we want it to continue.) Now journalist Lee Fang has revealed that the US government is paying Ukraine propaganda outlets to smear journalists and commentators critical of Ukraine war funding. True to form, they're labeling anybody who deviates from the establishment narrative a conspiracy theorist. In other words, discussing the 2014 US-backed coup in Ukraine, the shelling of ethnic Russians in the Donbas, and the fact that many Dems and Republicans have longed for a proxy war with Russia is enough to get you smeared as a kook. Interestingly enough, one such video gave a definition of a conspiracy theorist as one who "tends to believe that behind events or situations, there are hidden motives that may not be apparent or obvious to others." I remember when that was simply known as journalism! Sadly, pre-crafted narratives pass for journalism these days. Why think for yourself when you can have a millionaire pundit do the thinking for you? As the saying goes, look at who you're not allowed to criticize if you want to know who rules over you.
