There is a serious point here. Since 2016, too much of the MSM & Democrats have decided that anything that's mentioned by Kremlin-controlled or Kremlin-friendly outlets is off-limits and ipso facto untrue.

But the Kremlin and its online friends also push a lot of stories that are half-truths, sometimes even largely true, for propaganda effect. Merely dismissing a story, in toto, simply because Friends of Putin push it frankly says more about you than it does about the SVR or FSB...
