    also some things you dont know are true/false until later, like iraq for example.

    further if i did see a covid article sponsored by pfizer i would indeed be a lot less likely to trust the contents, just common sense really
    Except if you have 99 articles and reports that suggest one thing, the 100th isn't less true if it presents the same information.

    I get it, the optics are terrible. It's laughable that they would let something like this happen.

    The optics are bad but you're basically Tucker Carlsoning it and going "Heeey, i'm just asking the questions!!"

    Horrible optics, but what do you expect? Capitalism gonna capitalism? One man's suffering is another man's profit. That's how the world has always worked, so long as living organisms are on it.

    Should Lockheed even be presenting "news"? Probably not. Will they? Oh hell yes. Buy more of our weapons, please. Defend yourself today!

    but to dispense with irony, Day is absolutely right and there is a twisted, Orwellian menace to the military-industrial complex sponsoring foreign policy articles on a well-respected news site.

    that said it do reek a little of big brain take. many Twitter observers a la Glenn Greenwald are painting this as though the entire situation is the result of warmongering American propaganda, as though in opposing Russian imperialism you are embracing an immorally-equivalent American imperialism. in the face of foreign expansionism it is a horrible read, and these people are a little reminiscent of truthers in that only they can see through the lies that beguile others, while seemingly having no concern or compassion for the Chechen, Georgian, and now Ukrainian victims of Russia's aggression. but while all that may be accurate the truth remains that the idea of direct corporate sponsorship for any news article whatever is, let us generously say, disconcerting. all the more so when it is a weapons manufacturer shaping opinion on an impending military conflict.

    I said several years ago that Russia was not a genuine concern because their minor economic status and kleptocratic government are walls they couldn't overcome unless they were just left completely to their own aggressive devices with no pushback. Well, lo and behold.

    Well, when you let a country do whatever they're going to do it.

    After going back and doing a bunch of WW2 research on how fucking viciously the Canadians fought, I really don't want Canada getting uppity anytime soon. Those motherfuckers are polite as hell, but once war starts...

    More Russian war escalations as their flanking of the Russian border continues. Some bills introduced into US Congress to punish Putin and potentially designate Russia as sponsor of terrorism. And new mayor of New York continues to show what a corrupt saboteur in disguise he was by placing more suspicious people in roles of power.
