... who worked for the Atlantic Council and Council on Foreign Relations... The Same Atlantic Council that was recipient of 100,000 dollars in donations per year since 2016 from Burisma. Remember the clip of Biden bragging about withholding funds from Ukraine unless they fire the prosecutor? Anyone else read that backdrop? The one that says Council on Foreign Relations?

"As professional curators and gatekeepers dwindle and are replaced by self-appointed and unaccountable ones, individuals are forced to assess information in ways for which they are not trained. While “fact” and “truth” are often considered synonymous, they actually have very different meanings in this discussion. The commonly held definition of “facts” are that they objectively exist in reality, regardless of belief, culture, or other consideration. They cannot be logically disputed. “Truth” on the other hand is made up of facts, but can be tempered by beliefs and interpretation. As such, two people can draw two different “truths” from the same set of facts. This means they should consider disabling commentary systems—the function of allowing the general public to leave comments beneath a particular media item—and be careful to refer to the spreading of false information and providing a fact-based correction without explicitly repeating the false message itself."

... Oh and don't forget, Atlantic Council's number one donor in 2018, Facebook!

Any article from Salon is going to be nothing more than conjecture and crap. The Atlantic Council opinion has some merit as long as you accept the premise that the interpretation of a news story can only be made by someone other than you. Considering most MSM is pure propaganda it is becoming an increasingly difficult task to determine just where all the pieces fit in but knowing the source sifts out the shit more often than not.
