WOW epic article- Per a Wikipedia note Ukraine has labeled him a Russian disinformation tool.

by the way there's a website tracking disinformtion about both the Hamas war and Ukraine- link below.

One of the site founders is Steven Brill who famously wrote "Bitter Pill: Why Medical Bills Are Killing Us" as a Time magazine cover story.- later expanded the article into a book, "America's Bitter Pill: Money, Politics, Backroom Deals, and the Fight to Fix Our Broken Healthcare System", released January 5, 2015 about the fight over Obamacare and health care.

Newsguard has identified a network of 167 websites "masquerading as independent local news publishers in the U.S." to spread Russian disinformation. These are linked to a former deputy sheriff from Florida who now lives in Moscow. John Mark Dougan, a former Florida deputy sheriff who fled to Moscow after being investigated for computer hacking and extortion. Websites purport to be local web based news outlets- Names like D.C. Weekly, the New York News Daily, the Chicago Chronicle and a newer sister publication, the Miami Chronicle.
