There are tons of U.S. leftists who have bad takes on AES states, though. Not all of them can be feds. He's for sure sus, but I don't think there's enough to definitively label him a fed.
Following the money is a useful investigative method, but it's not conclusive in cases like this.
Say a journalist gets their work printed in a few publications and does some podcasting that brings in additional money. If one of those publications gets some nefarious federal dollars, how much impact does that have on the journalist's work?
It has the impact of subsidizing someone who is shilling for the government. Don't resort to quantum theory because they just happen to play on your sympathies
"Quantum theory" is calling someone a fed because one of the outlets they get published in at some point got money from some federal organization. That's ridiculous, and copjacketing is a real problem. You have to have a stronger connection before you levy that sort of accusation at someone.
Say the National Endowment for Democracy is a minority shareholder in the Washington Post. Is every WaPo journalist now a fed?
Lol yes a thousand times about the wapo journalists, bezos has contracts with the CIA anyways like are you really sure you wanna go with that example? Anyways, lots of idiots work for the feds, and guess what that makes them? You know I have to do it to em: Also feds.
Is this a bit or am I out of the loop on something? I never really listened to his programs.
does coverage of domestic protests to generate cred and then shits all over AES outside the imperial core
I remember him being absolute garbage when Evo Morales was illegally deposed
his Behind the Bastards podcast repeats every bullshit lie about communist "dictators"
I want to give him an out but it would be too easily interpreted as sectarianism
EDIT: plus his association with Bellingcat

Then your definition of "feds" is so broad it's useless.
Wasn't useless in this case, guy is on their payroll and it was obvious to anyone who understands lenin.
