Why is our mainstream media taking money from Russia and China?

[Clipper Nation]

Soviet propaganda hit the skids during the Gorbachev era, and as the empire broke up, its propaganda essentially vanished. But the heavy-handed purveyors of party-line orthodoxy and nationalist cant have returned with the rise of President Vladimir Putin, and a demonstration of this lost art's resurgence can be found in a 10-page advertising supplement to today's (Aug. 30) Washington Post, led "Russia: Beyond the Headlines." (It can also be viewed on the newspaper's Web site.)

Chinese and Russian propaganda supplements are regularly included in The Washington Post, but the widely read newspaper won't say how much money it gets on the deals.

China Watch – a China Daily publication – and Russia Beyond The Headlines – a Rossiyskaya Gazeta publication – have both appeared in the Post for years as paid advertising supplements. Both foreign periodicals are owned and operated by their respective governments.

"These paid supplements have run in the paper semi-regularly for many years, and have always been clearly labeled as advertising," Post spokeswoman Kris Coratti told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The Russia Beyond The Headlines material has appeared in other major news papers, including The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times.

Seems to me that the true Russian puppets are the fake-news-mongers posing as legitimate media outlets. They should stop projecting so hard.

Tucker Carlson had somebody on his carpet last week about this and blistered that er's ass. "I didn't know we were going to be talking about this." It was a riot.
