Gaslight the media so no one will believe them when they report on what we're doing

That template is beautiful

Fun fact: if you burn down a university, all students graduate.

I heard some anti Vaxxer (probs trump supporter) talking about how rt America was a great source of news. Let’s see what YouTube says when I click on it.
“RT America is funded in whole or in part by the Russian government.”
HOW TF IS THAT REPUTABLE???

RT is a Russian state-controlled international television network funded by the federal tax budget of the Russian government. It operates pay television channels directed to audiences outside of Russia, as well as providing Internet content in English, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, and Russian

"illiberal regimes are scaling up their traditional- and newmedia capabilities and broadcasting content to global audiences. On the
surface, these enterprises seem like soft-power instruments. But China’s
CCTV and Russia’s RT are not the BBC or Deutsche Welle, which operate according to a fundamentally different value system. Because editorial accountability for authoritarian media outlets ultimately rests with
the political leadership, the content that they produce is compromised,
through either editorial omission or commission. Thus if CCTV reports
at all about controversial topics such as the Tiananmen Square Massacre, Tibet, or Taiwan, it is not in a dispassionate or critical way. RT,
meanwhile, unfailingly follows the Kremlin line, rationalizing the status
quo that the regime seeks to maintain by cynically portraying all systems, whether authoritarian or democratic, as corrupt."
