...just for fun, I had a closer look at OhOh's source:
QUESTIONABLE SOURCE
A questionable source exhibits one or more of the following: extreme bias, consistent promotion of propaganda/conspiracies, poor or no sourcing to credible information, a complete lack of transparency and/or is fake news. Fake News is the deliberate attempt to publish hoaxes and/or disinformation for the purpose of profit or influence (Learn More). Sources listed in the Questionable Category may be very untrustworthy and should be fact checked on a per article basis. Please note sources on this list are not considered fake news unless specifically written in the reasoning section for that source. See all Questionable sources.
- Overall, we rate the Strategic Culture Foundation (SCF) a Questionable source based on extreme right wing bias, promotion of Russian propaganda and conspiracy theories as well as a complete lack of transparency with the goal to deceive readers. This is not a credible source.
Detailed Report
Reasoning: Extreme Right, Conspiracy, Propaganda, Complete Lack of Transparency
Country: Russia
World Press Freedom Rank: Russia 149/180
History
Founded in 2010, the Strategic Culture Foundation (SCF) provides a platform for exclusive analysis, research and policy comment on Eurasian and global affairs.
SCF completely lacks transparency by not listing owners or editors. Further, the domain is registered in Russia, which the owners do not openly disclose and there is not a contact page provided.
Funded by / Ownership
Ownership of the Strategic Culture Foundation is not disclosed. We cannot determine how revenue is derived as there does not appear to be a source of monetization (ads, donations, etc). However, the site features authors and has maintenance costs, so funding is coming from somewhere.
Analysis / Bias
In review, the Strategic Culture Foundation is a Russian propaganda website that favors the authoritarian right. This source also frequently reports pro-Russian conspiracy theories such as these:
- The Skripal Affair – Another False Flag in NATO Litany to Criminalize Russia
- Northwoods and MH-17: False Flags Fly alongside «Old Glory»
- The EU’s Architects: Nazis and Nazi Collaborators
- The Secret Logistics of America’s Global Deep State
- Strange Things Happen to European Countries Resisting George Soros’ Assault
When not reporting conspiracy theories, SCF reports favorably on President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Other topics feature Homophobia and Antisemitism.
Finally, in a Politico article the Strategic Culture Foundation was described as “a part of the Kremlin’s influence apparatus and noted that Russia has long sought to amplify the voices of Western conspiracy theorists.”
Overall, we rate the Strategic Culture Foundation (SCF) a Questionable source based on extreme right wing bias, promotion of Russian propaganda and conspiracy theories as well as a complete lack of transparency with the goal to deceive readers. This is not a credible source.
Majestically enthroned amid the vulgar herd
^ Have a look around for the American links,there's many,why not some Russian?
...this thread is a good example of what Russian propagandists would like to see...I expect OhOh's dacha will be upgraded shortly...
Italy will not leave the EU, she is in the same position as Macbeth.
“I am in blood stepped in so far that should I wade no more, returning were as tedious as go o'er,”
Of course no credible western media outlet would ever allow itself to promote state propaganda.
The Newspaper of War
The Newspaper of War | Common Dreams Views
Journalism schools should teach a course focused on questions like these, given that over the past sixty years the Times and every other mainstream news organization has repeatedly flunked such tests, in each instance aiding the government’s efforts in its illegal interventions and wars.The samples below dating back to 1954, although they scratch the surface, show this to be the case. The fact is that the Times coverage of events in Ukraine in recent months fits the long-standing record of the Times subservience to government officials when the United States engages in policies that violate international law, democratic principles, and human rights abroad, even while those same government officials are targeting the American citizenry itself with interventionist propaganda.
^Seems implied though...
Others have covered the subject besides Strategic Culture. Whose coverage of it can be considered completely unbiased? Every source has an agenda in today's world.
So, you're not capable of discussing anything that stretches your little brain.
You made the statement.
I questioned it.
It is up to you to back up your statement.
That's how a discussion works
Interesting? Just another attempt by our forum brainfart to show he is somehow relevant in serious discussions. And he fails, no surprise.
I'm sure I overtaxed his general skills by using words with more than one syllable
Wasn't me who made a pathetic statement about the EU Propping up Greece,so it seems you can't even back up your own statement,so really what use would it be answering you.
Seriously before Posting at least try reading whats happened about Greece and not make off the wall statements.
