Dear CCI Friends,
The recent New York Times article on the previously opaque nature of direct US involvement in the Russia/Ukraine war was a revelation to some, an acknowledgement of the truth of the reporting on the subject that has been coming from alternative media for the past three years for others. It is especially important given the size and reach of the Times readership but the question is, how do we interpret it?
Matt Taibbi has taken a deep dive into it and come up with a provocative analysis titled:
“Biden Lied About Everything, Including the Nuclear Risk, During Ukraine Operation”
https://www.racket.news/p/biden-lied-about-everything-including
Is it possible to glean truth from the propaganda, spin, manipulation and outright lies and how do we tell the difference?
A British parliamentarian has, coincidentally, tackled just that subject. Robert
Skildelsky presents an atypical view from the House of Lords.
These are head-spinning times, friends. Let us know how you sort wheat from chaff in the information/disinformation/misinformation overload environment, please!
