Kevin Rothrock@kallekn@mastodonsweden.se It all looks pretty silly and ideological IMO. And I'm perfectly aware that Markov has govt ties.
Kalle Kniivilä@kevinrothrock@infosec.exchange I'm sure you are aware of his government ties, but most readers aren't, so they should be mentioned. Once.
Kevin Rothrock@kallekn@mastodonsweden.se Outlets label his bias, they don't disclose his affiliation. They don't treat other sources this way. It's a double standard.
Kalle Kniivilä@kevinrothrock@infosec.exchange You are probably right. I don't follow US media that much, but I'll be on lookout for that kind of lables in Swedish media.
🤔
Kevin Rothrock@kallekn@mastodonsweden.se It's not the end of the world, but it gives me a chuckle.
Kalle Kniivilä@kevinrothrock@infosec.exchange Found a long interview with Markov in the Swedish daily DN, from March. This is how he's described:
"Political scientist and analyst Markov is unwaveringly loyal to Putin. He has even served as the president's personal envoy in the past. Markov heads his own think tank, the Institute for Political Research, and is known for his aggressive statements on both Ukraine and relations with Europe."
But only once. No further lables.

Kevin Rothrock@kallekn@mastodonsweden.se This is decidedly better.
