"Alice Donovan" was identified as a Russian bot in September in the NYT.

Also, check Jeff St. Clair's article that has been updated to show how
much of her stuff was plagiarized.

I think that to a large extent the power of electronic publishing tends
to make it vulnerable to fake identities, plagiarism, etc. Years ago
when I was writing for Swans, none of this could have happened since
Gilles d'Aymery developed relationships with his contributors. It is
also less likely to happen with well-funded outlets like AlterNet but
they tend to suck.
I'll stick with CounterPunch, warts and all.
