An indictment alleges a media company linked to six conservative influencers — including Tim Pool, Dave Rubin and Benny Johnson — was secretly funded by Russian state media employees.
Why would they limit themselves to serve propaganda only to left wingers when they can also serve propaganda to right wingers. And centrists, and fascists and tankies and anarchists. I’m pretty sure they’re trying with the full political spectrum.
You’re pretty sure, you just don’t have evidence of it now that a traunch of evidence is has been uncovered. Its not even confirmation bias because there’s nothing to confirm these claims
It doesn’t make sense that they would only serve propaganda to right-wingers and tankies. Maybe they’re focusing them because it’s easier, but it wouldn’t make sense to only do it to approximately half the population when they can do it to the full spectrum.
Or maybe there’s evidence of the right wing because it was easier to catch.
We should all be critical of propaganda, if you think “ah, it’s the other guys that are getting all the propaganda”, you’ve just become an easier target.
First of all, I am not uncritical of any “side”. And there’s a lot of different propaganda coming from a lot of different sources. To be honest I at least partially agree with your reasoning, and I think that reason is sufficient enough to form opinions. However, I object to the characterization that someone is a bot because they disagree with a particular narrative, for example the mainstream narrative of the democratic party who is responsible for pushing this bot paranoia, and making up a lot of the hysteria leading up to it.
Like just because something exists, doesn’t mean that someone who disagrees is a bot. Wasn’t long ago Democrats were saying that calling for a cease fire in Gaza was a Russian narrative. even if it was, that doesn’t make it wrong to speak out about.
Interesting how all these paid actors are right wingers, to believe Lemmy Russian bot hawks, the bot accounts are all fake leftists and tankies
Ah, good old “two different things can’t both be true!” deflection.

Don’t need evidence to support a feeling.
