Troll Farm Recruiting English-Speaking Journalists

https://politicalwire.com/2018/04/19/troll-farm-recruiting-english-speaking-journalists/

"SNIP........

The Federal News Agency, a pro-Russian website linked to the Internet Research Agency, has been recruiting “English-speaking journalists” to work on its “Wake Up, America!” campaign, according to Shooting the Messenger.

From the announcement:

Due to the growing political censorship imposed by the United States, there remains less and less of information sources that are not under control of the U.S. authorities. In this regard, U.S. citizens cannot receive objective and independent information about events occurring on the territory of America and throughout the world.

On MTP just a bit ago someone in the discussion said things are getting so bad that people don't even know what the truth is anymore, and that's esp. bad because the FBI's job is to get to the truth.

One of Russia's goals -- Putin's goals -- is to create an environment exactly like that: where people can't recognize the truth.

offer healthcare insurance/vacations and pto? Can I get two weeks up front, all the federal holidays and a platinum policy?

I'm almost tired of being retired and I can make shit up as well as the next guy.
