Ha, looks like I really pissed off the Kremlin "information weapon" (to quote its own editor-in-chief). They hate it when someone reveals how they work by citing actual evidence.pic.twitter.com/vDPMAYz5vz

Case in point: here's @maxblumenthal saying I have, quote, "no journalistic or security expertise."
Easy mistake to make, eh, @BakerLuke @ReutersAdrianC @InaStrazdina @martinromanczyk @terischultz @hrcmaguire @laurnorman?pic.twitter.com/LX57NT2QVl
Here's the joke: I was EU and NATO correspondent for @dpa in Brussels from 2007-11, and NATO's Russia press officer during the reset and after, 2011-14.
Which @MaxBlumenthal would have been able to check, because it's on my bio.
Not just lies. Incompetent lies.
Hilariously, RT says that it's not trying to silence anyone. That's the way it actually works, as its multiple violations of the obligation to preserve due impartiality make clear. See the finding of 7 violations in 6 weeks this year, for example. https://www.ofcom.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0020/131159/Issue-369-Broadcast-and-On-Demand-Bulletin.pdf …
The good thing is that RT and Sputnik aren't very good at what they do. They're getting exposed more and more, which is why they're trying to smear more and more people. Welcome to 2019. There'll be more of this.
Aren’t you a paid government propagandist? Your name is all over the integrity initiative leaks
Exactly what your useless selves do: lie, and then cover up by accusing anyone who speaks the truth of lying.
I'm loving this pompous drivel. It's a hoot. Whoever pays you money must be really desperate in order to pay for such masterpieces. Have you learned PowerPoint yet?
You don't need to work so hard to let people know you're producing propaganda for US-aligned corporate interests. Do you think people are naive about RT and Sputnik being state-sponsored media entities? You're on one side of an information war, just accept that and keep doing you
Is this thread paid for by the government too?
"It's scary! Look, here's St. Basil's, which is typically shown when the Kremlin is mentioned because it looks scarier!" "That I'm doing this in the context of distortion and distraction isn't hypocritical at all!"
Facts? In west propaganda machine? Lold
But, what did “Russia” do? No evidence of Moscow interference, let alone measurable influence, has been produced. None. What this opportunistic nonsense has done is reveal state/corporation-backed propaganda peddlers like yourself. What a disgrace!
Thankyou for your work Mr Integrity.
