I can’t take an article that calls the BBC “MI6 Media” seriously, I get that there is plenty of people with good reason to dislike/hate the BBC, and using insulting names for organizations is funny in forum posts, but in an article where you claim to work with facts, you should stick to the facts.
I may call Trump “the Drumpfster” or Putin “Putte” in informal conversations, but if I am making an article about them, I will use the proper names.
If what is claimed happened, this sounds more like a reporter with a history of similar behavior working for the BBC inventing a quote, which the BBC retracted once it was found out to be bullshit.
Its home to many weirdos (some of which i must admit i used to read) like the kind of anarcho capitalist “lets lower minimum age of consent” and “lets build special economic zones exempt from human rights laws” kinda people. Also lots of big tech adjacent peter thiel friends.
Sure there is still good stuff on there but it just doesnt make up for all the crap.

It’s a Substack “article”. It’s maybe one professional step above a random blog with 17 followers…
Actually its below that. Substack is famous for housing nazis and conspiracy nuts.
Oh, is it now? I don’t deal much with it and last time I checked it was a Medium wannabe with some tools geared towards tech professionals.
