So let’s do a quick recap on yesterday’s shoddy “investigation” into OCCRP:
- Lies about OCCRP hiding its funding (it’s actually all disclosed right there on our website)
- Falsely claims we pull our punches on US corruption (see below of an expose of the US military in Afghanistan)
- Lies about OCCRP hiding its funding (it’s actually all disclosed right there on our website)
- Falsely claims we pull our punches on US corruption (see below of an expose of the US military in Afghanistan)
If were to mean anything you would need actual evidence of editorial interference, and look, as someone who regularly shit talks the U.S. government, including in print for OCCRP, I have never seen any evidence of that
🚨Major investigation just dropped at @dropsitenews.com in partnership with a consortium of independent European news outlets. A major player in global journalism is primarily bankrolled by the U.S. State Department, we can reveal. Story to follow in next post:
