This seems so astroturfed. The news website, the “Institute for global affairs”. It’s like AI spat it out… because of course it is. The article is leading, and the supposed report is just a wall of text with a lot of supposition and no sourcing what so ever. Oh sure, there are references, that lead to more gobbledygook.

Is it time to vet news platform? I know that sounds incredibly dangerous, what with the fifth estate and all, but I think federated platforms should probably whitelist some of its news sourcings, because this is getting ridiculous.

Am I wrong here?
