“Hating on Putin by western Media - Part 2: THE ECONOMIST
“An ongoing outrage"
This featuring of a large series of negative-looking publication covers from The Economist and Time Magazine is a very effective way to drive the point home about the relentless efforts being made against Putin and Russia now.
The US is in the middle of an anti-Russian insane frenzy, and this stuff is just supporting propaganda and disinformation.
I recall the former CIA disinformation officer who talked once of sitting down to his "mighty Wurlitzer Organ" and hitting the keys to get a story "out there." The "keys" were publications like Time or the New York Times or the Washington Post, etc.
Today, the effort is just as intense in a country like Britain as it is in America, Western Europe having little independence of view or policies anymore.
Russia is seen as a major barrier against America's new hyper-aggression, and there is an additional factor at work with America's colony in the Middle East.
The hyper-aggression is seen by Israel apologists and lobbyists as a form of security for Israel, as well as assistance for Israel's own aggressive goals in its region.
Therefore, Russia is not good.
Since the "high-end" press in the West is owned or controlled by people completely sympathetic to Israel, this approach follows naturally enough.
