I didn't see Wire link to the actual ISD report or peer-reviewed paper, instead of say what the report found without showing me the report so I can read it myself. It's a red flag in my book.
That's not a red flag, almost all news sites are like that now, unfortunately. It's due to the ad revenue model, they don't want you to click away. Pick some reputable news sources you can think of and see if they link their primary sources - it won't be many.
How does Wire know Chatbots are pushing propaganda, and that it isn't the other way around where its Wire that pushes the propaganda?
