I read an article the other day about an American that
was found guilty of violating Russia oligarch sanctions. Embedded deep in the
article was the revelation that he was a past FBI agent.
The article went on to say he was sentenced to 4 years
in jail and fined $40,000. I first thought that what he received was a pretty
light sentence and so I scrolled on to the next article.
This article was on a website called RT.com. Although
I had read articles on that site before I really thought little of it until
seeing another article on a site I do actually respect that painted a side to
this case I hadn’t seen on RT.com.
The Epochtimes.com is one of my trusted sources so I
delved a little further into the story to find out that this man who was a past
FBI agent was actually one of the people who started the Russian Collusion
hoax! In fact he worked as the head of the New York FBI counterintelligence office.
How fitting that this man would be spending time in
jail for the very same thing that he falsely accused Trump of committing.
However the story doesn’t end there. I thought it
strange how none of this was brought to light in the first article so I
researched RT.Com. Originally called Russia Today but later shortened to RT.com
it now seemed obvious that what I was really reading was Russian propaganda!
Search your sources before you just blindly share an
article on social media.

I think all of us have been guilty for posting something not fully researched, hopefully we have learned from our mistakes and move on to more respectable posts
I don't think "news source" means what it used to
to be honest I don't trust ANY of them!
