does coverage of domestic protests to generate cred and then shits all over AES outside the imperial core
I remember him being absolute garbage when Evo Morales was illegally deposed
his Behind the Bastards podcast repeats every bullshit lie about communist “dictators”

Following the money is a useful investigative method, but it’s not conclusive in cases like this.
Say a journalist gets their work printed in a few publications and does some podcasting that brings in additional money. If one of those publications gets some nefarious federal dollars, how much impact does that have on the journalist’s work?
