Description

Journalist Aaron Maté (https://mate.substack.com) has caught a great deal of heat from the mainstream media in the west (and many liberal YouTubers) for his reporting on the United States’ efforts to overthrow the Syrian government. As the most recent instance, writer Mark Townsend in The Guardian described Maté as the premier conspiracy theorist spreading misinformation about Syria. In the article, however, Townsend didn’t bother to cite any examples of Maté’s alleged misinformation nor did he bother to reach out to Maté for a quote or comment on the allegation. So Maté called to confront Townsend, and recorded the interaction for the rest of us to enjoy. Jimmy and America’s comedian Kurt Metzger discuss with Aaron the first rate smear job he received in the pages of the Guardian and Townsend’s cowardly dodging when he was called out.

The Guardian is a disgrace. Been in the pocket of MI5 and MI6 for a while now.

It’s amazing the Guardian and Townsend can’t be sued out of existence for this deliberate false attack on Aaron’s professional reputation

The scariest thing about this is how nonchalant those people smeared others and to them treat it like it's nothing. Scary stuff, those journalists are in mi6 cia payroll.

I've gotta congratulate Aaron on his achievements, to be accused of being the biggest spreader of disinformation in 2022 equates to an admission you're reporting is entirely accurate.
