Sorry, I didn't realize you were talking about the subject line. What I
sent to this list was something like 14th down the thread and really has
nothing to do with Andy's comments, which is what I sent to this list.

 It's interesting to note that his posts come from Russian sources (RT,
 Sputnik) and then some of the fake progressive sites that have always been
 pro-Assad.  TheDuran.com, 21st Century Wire, Mint Press News, Counter
 Punch, Consortium News, Global Research, Your News Wire.  I know most of
 you are aware of the problems with these sites.  It would be great if we
 could get some articles exposing their pro-Assad/pro-Russia stance, lack of
 any journalism standards, lack of transparency about funding.  They are
 effective propaganda.

 Mint Press is located here.  Former staffers contacted me after I wrote
 criticisms of Mint Press.  There is a lot of money behind it.  The staffers
 guess Iranian because the editor's father-in-law is a well-connected
 Iranian.  In 2013 there were 10 people on staff with reporters being paid
 $38,000 a year.  https://www.buzzfeed.com/rosi

 As you know, there are more sites like these - progressive on
 everything but Syria.
