These anti Russian influence information warriors, defenders of our national image in Eastern Europe/Asia were also embezzling grifters, calculatedly lobbying our government for infrastructure projects and structural changes in oversight which would have allowed them to hide their previous self dealing financial improprieties, get away with diverting funds & immunized them from meaningful future oversight/auditing? And false or misleading information was published re: their failed attempts at getting their desired graft enabling legislation published?
The management of those entrusted with creating "spun" news to enhance the image of our Western rules based liberal order were (are?) demonstrably dishonest people, out for a buck, not too concerned about morality or legality, only THEIR OWN images and avoiding accountability?
Some would question the intelligence & good sense (or ethical/moral standards?) of those who chose to employ this bunch. A fish rots from the head down, it is said.
So, to frame this as some might?
