Of course, but long before the Ukraine war started, I posted stuff from RT, or Xinhua, or whatever it was, because I felt that some of the best news stories are those that come from sources critical of Western interests that do not fall cleanly into our own left/right dichotomies due to their divergent interests.

I will read a story from any source, even those that are not super credible, partly because I have found so much error by omission or distortion in “credible” sources.

This is where I consistently find myself more radical than even the most die-hard revolutionary leftists – I am just as open to narratives offered by foreign news sources hostile to Western oligarchs as I am to establishment news stories. You would think this would be something that would endear me to the far left who, once upon a time, looked with enormous skepticism towards rags like the NY Times that previously functioned as mouthpieces for the CIA, but…

Times have changed.
