JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: ON THE WASHINGTON POST'S SAD CLAIM THAT IT HAS DISCOVERED ABOUT 200 ALTERNATE-NEWS INTERNET SITES WORKING AS TOOLS OF RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA - MY GOD THAT NUMBER WAS USED BY SENATOR MCCARTHY

COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN RINF

It really is interesting with the number around 200.

It was a similar figure that old drunk Joe McCarthy, as he worked feverishly to revive a declining political career with explosive unproved claims, threw around as the number of Communists said to be infesting the State Department.

Ah, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
