Russia has demanded an apology from the Bloomberg news agency over a report it published about President Vladimir Putin's low trust rating among Russians.
The Russian Embassy in Washington, D.C., said in a post on
Facebook that the article by Bloomberg, which
cited a poll last month conducted by Russia's main state-funded pollster, the All-Russian Public Opinion Research Center (VTsIOM), was "written to promote fake graphs and create sustainable false visual images about the 'negative dynamics' in Russia."
The report on Bloomberg noted that only
27 percent of respondents in the poll, published on April 27, named Putin when asked to name a politician they they most trust.
The embassy, however, said that "the editors of Bloomberg continue to show complete disrespect for its readers" since the "real level of trust" is 67.9 percent, a number that refers to a second part of the poll that asked specifically whether the respondent trusted Putin.
Bloomberg has not commented publicly on the issue.
Comment: An interesting question, why did Dorsey tweet this article when it suggests taking a line of action and inquiry into conspiracy narratives that is the opposite of what he has done for the past several years? Is he changing his mind about the best way to 'protect' society from the 'dangerous' conspiracy theories, or is it something else?
As for the article he tweeted, it doesn't fully taken into account all of the facts that go into supporting the case for the grander conspiracy that the article takes only as a myth, and much of what the author brings up as real isn't connected or put in its proper context or perspective. The author is right when he says that the human elites aren't the puppet masters and that there is something higher than humans at work on human consciousness that is creating the appearance of conspiracy that people are seeing. However, it's not myths. The real truth of what's at work is far stranger than that.
