The US and Europe admit that they’re been believing in their own propaganda about Russia and Putin.

    Because they choose to publish it?

    Who wrote it doesn’t bloody matter.

      I guess you just can’t imagine anything other than pushing one’s own agenda. The concept that a news organization might want to publish in depth, well articulated opinions from a spectrum of different perspectives is just unthinkable in this polarized age of “my narrative or nothing.”

        I can imagine them pushing their own agenda. It’s exactly what they’re doing pushing this propaganda.

        Now let’s get to the real issue, why don’t think a newspaper isn’t responsible for what it publishes? Do you think they can wash it away by using a non-hired writer?

          DOH! That’s what I just said.

          Oh my lord. I’ve already explained above how opinion sections work, twice. Newspapers provide space for opinion pieces across different perspectives. I’ve actually been in a newsroom and seen the discussions. But you shouldn’t need that to understand an open shared space in a newspaper. Like I said, I guess it’s just over your head. Words on paper! Paper come from WSJ!
