But working for Bellingcat doesn’t make you a CIA agent
A truly socialist take of "being paid by the government doesn't mean you work for the government"
I’ve worked for Walmart and Amazon, yet I’m not a capitalist.
But do you currently work in public relations or marketing at Walmart?
Literally no podcast does. They’re podcasts. Not your personal army or vanguard party.
Absolutely true. I haven't listened to Robert Evans' podcast or whatever, but podcasts like Citations Needed are good in that they are explicitly about changing your beliefs about the US to "deprogram" people of dominant narratives, which is useful even for people already on the left.
One thing is certain, if your work is funded by the National Endowment for Democracy, you are not doing any good work.
Working for the government doesn't mean you agree with the government. And working for a private company that receives grants is not working for the government. Tons of companies receive grants and funding. Stop being obtuse.
Absolutely true. I haven’t listened to Robert Evans’ podcast or whatever

He writes articles sometimes, for a company that he only started working for in the past few years , that gets funding. You're trying to equate this with his entire body of work (podcasts, tweets, books, etc) being funded by NED and carrying out its goals. This is beyond intellectually sloppy. His earlier articles were in 2018, before he was brought on as an actual employee, and they were on the Christchurch shooting and right wing shit. Before that he was already working on BTB and he had done his investigative stuff in Syria and the Ukraine.

From regime change tools? Stop being obtuse. You are literally defending a guy who gets money DIRECTLY FROM A REGIME CHANGE CUTOUT OF THE US GOVERNMENT.
I'm defending a guy who started writing articles for a company in the past two years, while having an entire body of work outside of that company. Have you even read his stuff for bellingcat or do you pride yourself in being uninformed because how dare someone suggest you read something from THE REGIME CHANGE GOVERNMENT PROPAGANDA CIA ABCE NFSD QRST?! Do you really think if you just stand there, mouth agape, and act incredulous you can get out of learning things?
