        Note, Stranahan claimed to have helped Roger Stone write the August 2016 post saying that Guccifer 2.0 was not Russian.

        She (Fairbanks) no longer works for Sputnik, but now works for Jim Hoft's STL-based garbage website called The Gateway Pundit. She also formerly worked for the far-right Big League Politics website owned by Breitbart alum Patrick Howley.

        Interesting- Guccifer says he (they!) doesn’t like Sputnik cos it’s Russian - plausible deniability that CF didn’t know who she was talking to? Even tho she worked for Russian bosses?

        If you work for Breitbart, then Sputnik, that’s all I need to know to never take you serious as a journalist.

        Amen. They are not journalists, but vehicles for the propaganda machine. No ethics.

        Plus, you don’t have to know a thing about journalism, investigation, interviewing, research, writing, fact-checking to re-write propaganda that’s handed to you.

        Just curious - is it appropriate to use 'Breitbart' and journalist in the same sentence 😉

        Replying to @emptywheel

        I spent hours arguing with Stranahan in 08 when he was pretending to be a lefty. This career path is not surprising. I've forgotten most of his contentions, but one standout was that MLK should've worked more for gay rights. The bad faith was an eye-opener for 17yo me.

        Trying to turn various liberal causes against each other is a common theme of these trolls. I'd say it's almost a hallmark of the trolls.
