Has anyone else noticed the influx of anti-Russia articles on the WSJ lately?
2 comments

WSJ and any other media outlet aligned with the globalist, pro-Clinton, pro-EU world view.

I knew the whole "Putin ate my election" angle was getting completely out of control when I started seeing people claim, with a straight face, that Russian interference was somehow behind Brexit. It's the same people making the same tenuous claims about any political change they hate - it's not legitimate because anyone who disagrees with me has been brainwashed by tweets.

No News Corp outlet is aligned with pro-Clinton anything.

If the article contains the words 'cyber' you can pretty much be assured they've got plenty of 'authoritative' government sources who are inherently anti-Russian. From my experience it's certainly not new, even for WSJ.

I've read plenty of non-fiction espionage books and it's a safe bet to expect the American ones to be dripping with Russian paranoia. Warranted or not. They never gave that up after the cold-war, unlike the public. And non-technical journalists rely heavily on their sources expertise, more so than most subjects.

I prefer getting my infosec news from infosec people: https://twitter.com/matthew_d_green/status/91601649974720512...
