Fake news even more fake than we thought

If you get your news from the Globe and Mail, CBC, BBC, or the major US platforms, you will never see this story.

The UK government has been contracting news organizations and NGOs to influence public opinion in Russia and other "adversary" states. That's another way of saying they are hiring propaganda subcontractors. The documents revealed in this story show that Thomson-Reuters, owner of the Globe and Mail, and one of the biggest media/data/information conglomerates in the world, are hot to trot in bidding for these contracts.

In other words, our "free press" is literally prostituting itself to government agencies for money, all in the name of fanning the flames of anti-Russia hysteria.

Here's a great interview with the guy who broke the story.
