  "text": "By highlighting a list of unapproved sources, you tacitly approve others.\n\nIn fact on your website you explicitly state the following:\n>We suggest NPR, the BBC, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, Buzzfeed, VICE, etc\n\nThe first two are literally state-sponsored news, and both WaPo and NYT were caught colluding with Hillary Clinton (who also happens to bang the Russian war drums, [while profiting from Russia's Uranium One](http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/24/us/cash-flowed-to-clinton-foundation-as-russians-pressed-for-control-of-uranium-company.html)). You end the list with two sources that most professors would chastise you for citing in a paper.\n\n>Finally, we are not funded by anyone. We are completely independent.\n\nSo why the focus on Russian propaganda? Why not start a project that identifies and highlights *all* government propaganda? Why do you list a US and UK state-sponsored news orgs as your first two examples of \"unbiased\" sources?\n\nDo you understand why some Americans might accuse you of having ulterior motives besides being a \"group of volunteers\"? How do you respond to accusations that your anonymous group is actually US sponsored?",
