Hey Bubbles,

I notice you've been posting some articles from Sputnik news. Do you know about Sputnik news?

According to https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/sputnik-news/

Sputnik news is a right-wing biased website known for "Russian Propaganda, Conspiracy, Lack of Transparency, Some Fake News". It's factual reporting is "very-low" and it was created via a presidential decree by Vladimir Putin.

"Russian propaganda" is whisuspeak for "facts white supremacists hate"

Hey BoycottTwitter, do you know about Media Bias/Fact Check? Previously. Previously. Bonus previously.

Don't forget the Fact Checker's "code of principles" was developed by the Charles Koch Foundation-associated Poynter Institute.

Well that’s a fun fact. I’ve shat on Poynter before, too.

Are you telling me that a Russian media outlet puts out material from the point of the Russian perspective and Russian interests? And by national decree? How deceptively evil! AND RIGHT WING! Not very leftist kremlins

Their deceptive state biased media. Our noble esteemed mediaopoly.

Oh and our righteous colluding with the media to prop up far right figures as strategy.

Imagine using a Koch Brothers funded system to judge media bias lmao.
