A l'action!

Last week saw warnings that the upcoming French presidential election could be subject to similar interference as the vote for the US President in late 2016. President Putin has, as we previously reported, approved a budget increase of 1,22 billion roubles (ca USD 19 million) to enable his…

Propaganda in demand

Disinformation media, freed from the obligation to respect facts, enjoy much popularity among certain audiences.
