Full confessions...[edit]

I decided to write this article after being sort of depressed at the state of the article on the same topic at Wikipedia, so I have decided to make it even better here, since I can add all sorts of snark and little titbits that will help more people grasp what it really is, because many of the sites are biased against it without really analysing its methodology, which is actually fine really. — Unsigned, by: Sqrt-1 / talk / contribs

Naked Capitalism[edit]

Naked Capitalism is *definitely* Russian propaganda. Look at this for example:

https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2023/11/ukraine-end-game-putin-and-medvedev-discuss-maps-putting-kiev-on-the-menu.html https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2024/02/ukraine-collapse-starting-what-happens-next.html

Not only is the narrative severely one sided, but it also uses Russian propaganda terms like "SMO" and refers to "parts of Ukraine that voted to join Russia" as fact. All of the approved comments are typical Russian propaganda talking points also. Perhaps it has a high factual reporting rate for financial matters, but anything related to Ukraine is simply naked Russian propaganda. It routinely quotes SCOTT RITTER and prominent Russian propaganda Twitter accounts like "GEROMAN" and "Lord Bebo". — Unsigned, by: Dargrodal / talk / contribs
