The "Russian propaganda" IS the Russian propaganda. These idiots lack the self-reflection to put the 2 and 2 together, or perhaps these idiots just don't care so long as they make bank. Either way, they're idiots propagating some debunked conspiracy and need to be held accountable.

People seem to forget that you can sue for defamation. False news, as it were, has historically been something one could be held accountable for. For instance, Benjamin Rush, a signer of the declaration of independence, actually sued a critic of his for fake news. People who cry "muh freedom of press" don't actually know wtf they're talking about. Historically speaking, the freedom of the press does not grant freedom from litigation, as so many seem to suggest.
