    This is a scoop but... if getting articles planeted in Counterpunch is the game Putin is playing, he's not much of a threat.https://twitter.com/EliLake/status/945416499598102529 …

    Counterpunch has been publishing articles from Alice Donovan, a Russian government troll posing as an American freelancer. Killer story from @adamentous @GregJaffe & @nakashimae https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/kremlin-trolls-burned-across-the-internet-as-washington-debated-options/2017/12/23/e7b9dc92-e403-11e7-ab50-621fe0588340_story.html?hpid=hp_hp-top-table-main_infowars-250pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory&utm_term=.afb9ee6cee89 …

        And read Counterpunch's story on "Alice Donovan" even less of a threat https://www.counterpunch.org/2017/12/25/go-ask-alice-the-curious-case-of-alice-donovan/ …

        It's weird, like there's been this massive propaganda thing aimed at probably some of the worst media out there. Not just counterpunch, but there's a straight line to all sorts of alternative media. I think the idea is that you can launder stories that way.

        Like when you're doing "pickup" days, it's not to uncommon to start browsing weird media or click-bait for things you can repurpose into "Real news." Well seeded propaganda hits both that "interesting and unique" itch. It'll make you cover a minor story because of a nifty angle.

        Exactly. It's not like there were a lot of Counterpunch readers who would've voted for Hillary Clinton otherwise.

        Somehow I don’t see Counterpunch as a singular goal.

        He already has the nation reeling under Trump, as a result of many surprisingly small and cheap operations like this one.
