It has created an unprecedented situation, which writer Caitlin Johnstone calls “the most aggressively trolled war of all time.”

From the Skripal affair to Navalny’s rise to the Russian Olympic doping scandal, these damning revelations should be enough to dispel any notions of truth in what the UK and allies tell their citizens through mainstream media outlets and the social media landscape they control.
