🔴 🇷🇺#PropagandaMachine 6 - Ghost Journalists, Cash and Kremlin Scripts: How Russian Operatives Tried To Influence Argentinian Media ➡️ Thanks to an unprecedented data leak obtained by @thecontinent_, today, we are able to reveal that “The Company”, a network run by Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service, reportedly spent around $280,000 commissioning roughly 250 articles in over 20 Argentinian media outlets. Our consortium identified at least four fake bylines as authors of these articles. 👉 Along with @openDemocracy, and @Filtra_Leaks, we contacted all media outlets cited in the internal documents as having published articles for “The Company.” All 15 interviewed by the consortium denied receiving payments from Russian agents. 🌍 This article is the final installment of our investigative series #PropagandaMachine, exposing Russian disinformation strategies across three continents. 📰 Read our latest investigation on our website: forbiddenstories.org/ghost-journali… @thecontinent_ @dossier_center @openDemocracy @istories_media @aeowinpact #Russia #Propaganda #Journalism #ForbiddenStories
