If you're the sort of person who instinctively believes everything that comes out of the US State Department, NATO, and the many think tanks in their orbit, you'll probably find yourself nodding sagely as you read this story by Thomas Daigle.
Yup, them darned Ruskies are at it again. Gonna corrupt the 2020 election, just like when they put Trump in the White House four years ago, and it sounds like this Professor Chossudovsky chap is neck-deep in collusion with Bad Vlad.
If, on the other hand, you have grown wise to the lies peddled by NATO, State, and their many affiliated think-tanks, then you're probably aware that the odds of reading spin, misinformation, and outright bullshit are about the same at CBC News as they are at Global Research.
Which is not to deny there is Kremlin-sponsored disinformation out there. It is merely to suggest that we need to be at least as vigilant when we're reading Washington-sponsored disinformation. In fact, the lies that our own leaders tell us represent a far more insidious threat to our freedoms than the lies of our adversaries.
