      I actually took the time to read through the article, now I wish I hadn’t. The whole thing reads like a spy novel conspiracy theory so I had to look up the site… and sure enough, they are actually rated as very low on factual reporting based on their frequent conspiracy theories. I do find it interesting that their rating is also “Far-Left Biased”,makes me feel like this whole article was an attempt to shift that back towards center.

      Then again, it was also expected. OP posts at least one article a day weakly attempting to bash the Biden administration, so this is par for the course.

        It is an article by Seymour Hersh. They adapted it verbatim from his substack: https://seymourhersh.substack.com/p/a-year-of-lying-about-nord-stream

        He has won multiple journalistic awards including Pulitzer. Not a good look for you that your immediate reaction on reading something that upsets you is to immediately hop on to a garbage website like mediabiasfactcheck to vindicate your fairytale biases without engaging in any critical analysis.

          Oh the article upset me? Wow I’m glad you let me know, or I would have missed that! I actually said at the time that while it was a nice theory that Russia was trying to sway public opinion towards themselves, I didn’t actually think they could pull off something like that. Keep in mind I never said the idea was crazy, just that I don’t trust either the website nor the style in which this was written.

            I am sorry. I genuinely thought you were upset that the OP posts articles that besmirch the veritable Biden administration since you jumped to grasping at straws like the writing style and the mediabiasfactcheck report instead of assessing the original source and author of the article which are usually much better indicators of reliability.
