Thanks for this, Tull. Pretty shocking stuff, especially since the story was so effectively and globally debunked.

Once upon a time the Phoenix was a great read, never fully truthful.. but close enough to titillate the conspiracy advocates.

Now it’s just a rag.

This is exactly the reason I cancelled my subscription. It felt like Pravda Eire. EU/NATO bad all the time. Russia a great bunch of lads. Moscow Mick is misunderstood.

Sweet Jesus…

This is amateur level intel stuff.

Not quite as much of a self own as the Chris Cuomo / AOC AI video fiasco, though primarily because that one was LABELED as an AI spoof.

This disinfo feed pic might as well have carried an equivalent warning.

Speed to post over info verification seldom ends well.

Gonna guess there will be few actual ramifications or genuine mea culpa.

They’ll probably follow up with a piece in which they rail about how terrible it is to exist in a media environment in which they could be so easily misled.

And we’re back to Chris Cuomo again…😑

Thanks again for your efforts. Well done.
