Some reporters have shared this out like it's objective news without context
It's a blatant PR piece by Sam Patten to redeem Patten, & leaves out a lot of damaging info
Lyrical prose softens Konstantin Kilimnik - he lied to Patten, maybe accidentally🙄
wired.com/story/kostya-a…
The article is full of purple prose gushing over Kilimnik with a few careful critical comments about him and about himself/Patten
"I would get the sense he found my idealism touching, if also naive...In him, I saw someone who had been overlooked and underappreciated."
🤦♀️
The article includes some new info but should be presented as the puff piece it is
After past few years w/foreign interests trying to buy positive media stories (thru Flynn, Manafort, etc) it's discouraging to see story shared without context/disclaimers
