[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In between all these stupid posts calling other posters Russian trolls, has anyone actually taken the time to check out the organization WaPo used as their main source - Prop or Not?

Very scary that a supposedly credible news organization like WaPo would promote this alleged non-partisan group of "experts" and what they say is Russian propaganda or not. No one knows who actually works for Prop or Not. They refuse to let anyone know. We have no idea who is funding them or if they are actually experts in anything.

And their list of supposed Russian propaganda news orgs include prominent, respected organizations on both sides of the political aisle.

Had anyone even heard of the organization before the WaPo article? What evidence do we have that they're credible?[/quote]

According to their website they are anonymous. This does not mean they are not credible -- journalism relies on anonymous sources -- but it does mean that journalists have to vet and ideally double-source the information carefully. In theory it is totally credible that a group of experts could put together something like ProporNot. [/quote]
