I tend to avoid The Intercept since the whole Reality Winner thing sensitized me to possible Russian connections. Without knowing what the true relationship is, I have written them off as providing a manipulative propaganda line. Of course, sometimes propaganda is written by the best; I was just reading about Eric Blair's wartime efforts for the BBC, and how he tried to avoid damaging his credibility as an anti-imperialist.
I understand the election irregularities in the Bolivia election are controversial, and I don't take a side on whether that was a pretext to get rid of Morales. My point was only that the act of running in the first place was questionable.

You say it like it's something bad.

That's shorthand for Russian government intelligence; I didn't mean to cast aspersions at the Russian people.
I hesitate to declare it worse than being a CIA front.
But in any case, I think it's better to look for other sources of information and never, ever, trust them with your freedom or life, like Ms. Winner did.
